Awakening

Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine. You think your dreams are the same as mine

it's amazing the emotions that surface when you feel the concept of warmth again. You are awakened from this slumber you may not have even known you were in. it's like you are suddenly light on your feet, and are moving easily through the motions. that little bit of sunlight is reason enough to have a cheery disposition.

This--is my favorite time of year. when the sun peeks around the clouds reminding you there is something beyond the snowy, miserable days that have been haunting us since November. These first few days where you tentatively roll down your car window, hoping you won't jinx it. You turn your radio up just a little bit louder, which for some reason always makes things a little better. you cross your fingers that maybe... you have turned the corner and you can kiss the cold goodbye until 6 months later... and open your arms and be eased into the concept of no coats and sunglasses.

along with the sunny skis brings sunny memories. not only is your mood awakened, but your thoughts and dreams as well. last year's summertime comes crashing back, the smiles you shared, the love you gave, and the ease of falling into the arms of the people you love. your dreams come back in full force, and you allow yourself to fall back and consider making them a reality. wishing for the love and support from those select few people who could lay next to you and dream right there with you. Whether you wish and hope for the same outcome, the changing of the seasons is just the excuse you need to close your eyes and take yourself there.
