April

I love your rainy nights, 
they make for lullaby as I sleep in this bed so forlorn, 
the sounds of your raindrops, 
rock me to sleep, 
you promise a brighter morning, 
your mornings are chilly cold, 
you say that's how it needs to be, 
to wake my lazy bones, 
to clear the stuffy air of night, 
I open my window to take a peek, 
I notice you have washed away all the dust, 
the sky has never been this clean April, 
you clear the air, you wash the dirt away, 
the plants love you, 
their leaves are heavy, 
hanging low with dew drops, 
glistening, bright, blinding. 
April you breathe life into everything you touch, 
breathe me April, breathe life into me, 
fill my lungs with your cold air, 
clean, purifying, life. 
breathe me, April.
