Right before dawn from my back window. Mars, PA March, 2019
Right Before Dawn.
The trees stretch their branches
and wiggle their trunks
and spread their roots
right before dawn
as if to say,
“Wake up!
It’s a wonderful new day!”
I sip my coffee
and stretch my arms
and wiggle my toes
and gaze outside
wondering how I earned
this undeserved privilege
to be right here right now.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
I love your analogy to a tree, very creative!❤️🌈

Ever since I took that art workshop on trees I am looking at them in a new way, and yes they do look like they are waving their arms saying “get up, get up, enjoy this day!” Thank you Jodi!
