Let the sound of the birds come get you
Sunlight creeping through your window
Tempting, teasing you from your covers
Calling you outside.
You’re alive as the hot sun hits you
Senses jumping, senses waking
Feel a tingly skin sensation
Making you alive.
Day moves on and the heat is rising
Soaring, scorching, burning, frying.
Bare feet jumping on hot stone pathways
Warming through your soul.
Time is still now, the air is heavy
Smells are sweet and senses lazy
Grainy light as the sunlight falters
Drawing to a close.
O sunlight creeping through your window
And it’s tempting and it’s teasing
It’s calling you outside
And you’re alive as the hot sun hits you
Sends a tingling through your skin
Right down, right down to your bones.
