I am seeing the world
Through different eyes 
As if I am experiencing it 
For the very first time. 



Each day is an anticipation
Of what is to come 
As I see the last glistening frost
In the bright winter's sun.
 


The early morning sun
Gently warms my face 
As I noticed a beautiful flower 
Put its first bloom in place.

 

Gone are the unhappy browns 
Replaced by happy green hues 
Under a radiant sky so alive 
With variant colors of blue.

 

Birds lilting songs float 
Musically through the air 
As I wonder what the lyrics 
Might be to the songs I hear.

 

The morning air smells fresh 
Like a shower is nigh 
But when I glance up, 
There's not a cloud in the sky.



The world is awakening 
From a long winter's nap. 
Is it the coming of spring 
That I am feeling perhaps?

 

Or is there something 
Changing inside of me 
Enabling me to see the beauty 
Which now surrounds me?
