Buttery sun pours down
generous early Spring warmth
A consolation prize
for enduring last Winter's blast.

Behind closed eyes
my ears attune to
distant hiss and rumble of traffic
and small birds exchanging tweets.

Soft breeze pats my face gently
with its kitten paws
carrying scents of mulch
and hints of scattered blossoms.

I see.
I hear.
I feel.
Life is good.
