Rise and shine

whispers the sun through a crack in my curtains

I blink my eyes open

and smile thinking good morning mother nature

she hears me and the birds start to sing the song of nature

the birds sing

how gorgeous their voices are...

opening a window, the sounds rush in

the creek softly babbles half a mile away

the birds sing in pure unending joy

the sun gives me a warm hug and I embrace it right back

smiling, eternally grateful to live here

my dream has come true

and not a day goes by where I am not saying thank you

I proceed downstairs and make breakfast

and brew a pot of coffee

I finish my breakfast just as the coffee is completely made

just like I planned

I pour myself a cup of coffee and take it outside on my back porch

where I sip and soak

I look out past the deck and watch as the sun greets me just over the mountains

time seems to stand still as I enjoy the moment

As my day continues on I watch as the sun follows me being my friend

I can depend on it to always be there

giving me something warm to run to

I rush home hitting rush hour

I run inside and put myself into more comfortable clothes

My seat outside pulls me closer to it

the soft glow of a setting sun

with the dull oranges

and the golden yellows

with the light brushed pinks and reds

welcoming me home

as it sets the pinks become purple

and the purples fade into dark blues

night has come

the sun has gone to sleep

and the moon has yawned it’s way to a waking shine

I shiver and walk inside to find my outdoor blanket and make a cup of warm tea

the only music I need is that of the song of nature

The soft lullabies of the nearby birds

The even softer babbling of a creek nearby

I find it hard to stay awake

knowing it will only get colder and the night grows older,

I walk inside and open my window

I still hear the lullaby of nature as I drift into sleep

the last thing I recall is that of the song of nature
