Wafting Joy

A spring breeze cradles the hair on my arm

Birds greet a shining sun with a melodious song

I get a message from friend not seen in so long

As I read it I sip cocoa to brush away the chill

At a bakery wafting joy through crisp morning air

It's a tonic to the doldrums, to light the way

And remind my grumpy self to cherish the day
