opening up the window*

longer days are here for us
who allow their glow. have we noticed
in our haste to chase away the blue
skies have widened in the south
westerly breezes prying open the willing soul
screaming for the warmth of the wild
flowers covering the roadside
stands with hopes of fresh fruit and colours
painting the landscape in hues since forgotten
before the shifting of the light
in the sky prompted the eyes to see
the reticent beams seeking permission
to enter us again through the weave of the fabric
draped over our eyes and blinding us
as we welcome them reaching for the sash
cord pulling to allow their brilliant rays
to bathe us again
