Morning

Unbar the windows!
Throw open the sash!
The time for darkness has passed
and it is morning. 

Birds sing of new beginnings
and the wind dances in anticipation. 
The sun is busy burning the fog. 

It is a new day. a day of journeys, 
a day of adventures lurking outside
like a child with a surprise, 

Linger in your dark room no more. 
Dance out the door and join the birdsong, 
leaving your blues in the dark like an abandoned cocoon.
