Welcome Home, Sunshine,
This Kentucky Gal is thrilled that you’ve come to town, these white
blossoms and emerald green grass lawns make for a striking debut.
My toes celebrate your arrival by pressing themselves down into the
awakening earth, stretching out into sandals, and receiving pedicure love.
My summer dresses are eager for morning strolls around downtown with
friends and evenings spent sitting on porch steps, sipping wine and talking
with soul mates.
Hey, Sunshine, I sing your praises with the car windows rolled all the
way down, windblown hair locks drinking in your rays while blasting a guilty
pleasure pop song.
This Sunshine coos for iced green teas, mint chocolate chip ice cream
and kale smoothies. All meant to be sipped slowly and thoroughly enjoyed.
Sunshine likes Saturday afternoons spent lounging poolside in
heart-shaped sunglasses, tanning in a blue polka dot bathing suit.
Sunshine desires lazy trips to bookstores and early evenings spent
reading in the last rays of light.
Cheers to You, Kentucky Spring. You’re a gracious hostess asking me to
remove the heaviness of my winter’s coat. Your playfulness dissolves any
lingering winter grayness.
I am reawakened to the fact that I am a Being of the Sun, a Sun-Being
nourished by the vibrancy of Life. Your appearance soul achingly needed after
such a dark and icy night.
I press my fingertips toward this azure sky and I
breathe in you in. I breathe you in and Shine.
