I push the blankets away

waking up groggily

And croak out a yawn

As I rub my eyes awake.

I sigh and walk to the window,

The sight, a discrepancy to what I feel:

Tittering birds and

Verdant groves, home to bustling life.

A picture: loud yet serene,

an incandescent disparity to what I feel.

I step out

Into this world of contradiction

Thriving out of my window

And suddenly yet slow,

My being blooms in this haven of acquiescent atmosphere.

Filled finally with a reason:

A reason to enjoy

the joie de vivre-

The spirited exuberance of nature.
