In a world that leaves me feeling deflated and disappointed
I refuse to believe that this is my lot in life
sometimes I close my eyes
imagining my very own imagery
I can see the sunflowers smiling in the meadows
streaming with light
in that one crucial moment
when the sun finally beams onto their sleeping faces
waking them with a start every time
and the magnificent orchestra of birds singing their daily opera
reminding me i\'m alive
and the very moment
the sun beams
reach the terracotta roof of the villa perched on the hill
almost as if it was protected by a warm glow
clouds moving fiercely
to the side
leaving fresh air to breathe
lavender perfuming the sky for all to savor
in a world that leaves me feeling
deflated and disappointed
I refuse to believe that this is my lot in life
I close my eyes and I imagine
I see, once again
the great deer, visit me in my back yard
just as he used too, many moons ago
Just as the sun was rising.
