Sun Break

When the sky clears,

it’s bliss to be ready

to jump on that wind 

and journey

northward with the flat-bottomed clouds

while wind chimes sing,

it’s enlivening to feel the cold

and be free to go

There’s a wistfulness to knowing

I will go inside and wait

for my time window to open,

which may or may not coincide

with the day’s hour of sun.
