Cold breaking
I wake to the cold breaking into my bones, to the wails of my nose running through a field of icicles. My limbs shaking from intense neglect of warmth.
Seemingly so, my soul screams to check the windows for leaks, my mind rushes for heat. The need of more layers and disappearing below a cocoon of ahhh.
Though now my eyes have been alerted to wake up I still find myself saying it's okay to go back to sleep. Though the shivering has yet to cease. Alongside with the rattle of my teeth. Surely a small chuckle is here. The shuffle of socks, a heavy sweater, a hat and mittens added to the already layered coats and blankets.
And to think next year I will be in snow. Brrr.
Yet that is next year. This is today. Here I am watching as the sun rises putting warmth into the trees and heating the air outside, slowly. A mass space. Though time will show how warm today may be.
Right now the shivers have ceased and laughter is fading. Time to find myself drifting off into never never land or scientifically stated, memory land.
As the temperatures rise inside of me the mittens, the first layer of socks and the lightweight outer layer of pajamas fall away. Toasty.
Yes. Sleep has come. Good morning my family, my friends. Enjoy today. One more day to show your loved ones what they mean to you. Kindness. Love. Patience. Just listen.
Ahhh. Finally calm once more. Back to slumber I reside for now.
