when the sun rose this morning
I was sound asleep.

warm in my bed,
I was worry-free
and dream-free.

I was happy.

but I woke up
and there was rain
and no sun
and the sky was
grey.

it’s the first day of the year,
so what does this say about
every other one to come?

eh,
it doesn’t say anything

the plants are happy
so why shouldn’t I be?

so I take that in mind
and march into the new
year
