Silent Sunlight...welcome in..

Beautiful Day expands its lungs
breathes you back into sunlight
tucks you beneath one matronly paw
licks you clean as a kitten.

Where Dark Day nudged your nose to a corner
made you write 100 times on a blackboard
then sent you to bed with no dessert

This Day dabs your tear-crusted eyes
with a spit-soaked Kleenex
lets a kiss touch your furrowed brow

and says:

"Hush, now.
Go outside and play."



(it is too nice a day for me to not make poems about it)
