Seconds til' the sun will rise

Seconds til' the sun will rise

The soft beating of wings,
the whisper of the wind in the tree down the hill,
the sound of home in my ears,
I sit here, freezing, wondering what summer brings,
while the cold air rushes down my spine in a chill,
now facing the sun instead all of my fears.

The grass seems greener this day,
the colours brighter,
on people's face a smile,
only two more months til' May,

the mood slowly but surely becomes lighter,

and I hold on to this flicker of hope for a while.

The change is coming, I feel it in my bone,

people are leaving, people are coming,

smiles appear and tears will fall,

even when it feels this way sometimes, I'm not alone,

so for once in my life I will stay put instead of running,

as I take in the sun, the change, and wait for my call.
