It Finally Happened

Guys

It happened

There was no warning. No flirtatious teasing, no battle cry to announce its arrival, nor a feeling in the air that joy was about to burst through the door. No notifications. None of that. It just... Happened.


Summer

The celebration stirred me early this morning. Birds were cheering, songs and chants oppressed the quiet. The sun concord the clouds, and cast out all that was left of the cold. On my way to school, the trees stretched, doors and windows were thrust open, and the presence of summer was allowed to overwhelm the quiet of winter.

Tired muscles flexed, shaking off the dust of a long winter at rest. Pale skin came out from hiding, my world hummed with the sound of lawn mowers, the smell of fresh cut grass the best kind of coffee I'd smelled all winter. Every single yard was green plad. Smoke wafted through the air, the straw and death of winter being cremated under the same power that would soon bring life. Warmth flooded the world today, and it was beautiful.

Its arrival was rapid and extreme, all at once, the winter was over. Suddenly, boxes were brought up from the must of basements, no longer were the arctic streets full of Eskimos, gone were the fur hoods, and the chatter of teeth. The streets were no longer desolate, like the people were scared of an unnamed beast that was coming to devour them.

 I don't usually post selfies on my blog, or any pictures, but I felt really pretty today. Like the sun shine was shining through my skin. I just feel really good.
