Breathing easier

 

We breathe easier this day,

a day of clear sky and gentle breeze

without the stifling temperatures

causing one to escape for days on end

to the coolness of their home.


This morn welcomed us with a slight chill,

a refreshing chill as walkers left their homes

wrapped with a sweater and such a smile

as their steps increased, their arms swung

with vigor confirming their survival.


Two months of 30 – 40F temperatures

was a tad too much in this northern climate.

As Canadians we do survive, although

crankiness has become our third language and,

the thought of snow-shovels crossed my mind.
