Snow has been falling for almost an hour now. I awoke to see a dusting, but now it’s nearly up to my knees. I’ve got nowhere to be, though, and I’m watching comfortably from the warmth of my blanket and a cup of tea. Music plays softly from my speaker; I serenely watch the snow fall. Hours pass and the snow settles at waist level. Sighing, I appreciate this week off from work I’ve taken.

That early morning dew smell
7:21 am.
Window slightly cracked,
a cool breeze passes
and I awake.
The smell of dew
and birds chirping
make me feel something
I haven’t felt in a while.
I never wake up this early,
but my window outlooks the east
and I can see the sun rising-
it’s beautiful,
almost enough to keep me awake.
I haven’t written in a month,
it’s been a tough summer,
but there’s something about
cool summer mornings.
I don’t feel so broken.
