……….It has been a long winter……

The sheen of green across my lawn calms the mind and clears the soul and helps to fill the gaping hole left when life seemed to increasingly sour, and only now has the summer sun that feeds the grass begun to lift my sagging spirits. Thunderstorms that soaked my mind till I felt I would drown now raise my thoughts along with the flowers that dot the space that I like to call my backyard park. The sky is soaking up the blue of my troubled emotions, and the clouds that float there now brighten my day instead of storming my moods. Soon, I hope, the weather will calm and the sky will shine with stars all through the night and my nightmares change to dreams!
