Outside

 

Day after sunny spring day cooped up inside, worshipping a glowing screen.
I open the door to the garden, surprised by the smell of life.
Bathing in the vivid sun, I can but smile;
I feel the haggard lines under my eyes melt away in the soothing warmth.
How could I have been this stupid? All of this abundance just beyond my door.
I will not make that mistake again.
