Moments
Before my feet hit the floor, I see it:
The slow pumping of adrenaline a second before my legs go from heavy to flying;
The smell of early spring and its promise to refresh my life.
Before I sit down at my desk, I see it:
The jolt of happiness before opening a fresh page, blank to receive my ramblings;
The excitement of discovering my next big project.
Before I hug my daughter, I see it:
Baby soft hair nuzzling in my arm, almost speaking of her happy thought of the day;
The sweet taste of wine on my lips, the signal of the weeks' close, a chance to pause.
Before I get ready for bed, I see it:
The rush of pleasure as hot water cascades the day away;
Crisp linen sheets, just laundered, white and new, ready to envelope me and let go.
My day in anticipation.
