Ugg...
Getting into the truck
Freezing,
Tired,
Sore.
Defiantly not ready to go to school.
not ready to function.
not ready to be awake.
My heart is still in the shadows of sleep.
    or lack there of...
My mind still in the soupy state of dreams.
I scrunch into the small back seat.
So not in the mood to be here.
We pullout of the driveway.
*sigh...
Then I see it.
The slope of the driveway points my window right up to the view.
A flash of orange.
contrasting a bright blue.
Fire in the sky.
Orange dances through the clouds.
Then i look over across the truck.
through the other window.
I see purple
the mountains jutting out in the distance.
Chiseled shadows scrape along the surface.
White shines out among the purple. Snow.
Small flecks of light
sparkles
leaving mysteries to the imagination.
maybe a window pane of a cottage in the snow.
A diamond waiting to be discovered
over the mountains
in through the sky, Pink.
pink hovers,
floats,
swirls,
stands out.
I can feel all of these colors.
I can see them all in my own eyes.
I can feel the bright of that sun, lighting up my day.
backing up my smile.
making me feel alive.
