Interlude

Blog5: Interlude

The skylight window directly above my head announces Daybreak.
It welcomes the already traveling Sun Ribbons
Now playfully, yet softly piercing my still shut eyes.
“Wake up, gal!” They invite.  “Rise up and claim today!”

I whimper impishly at first, and groan louder next.
Night covers I grab snuggly to block the intruders.
“No. Go away … not yet!”  
I retort grudgingly and whine, but they ignore my rejection.

“Full force now, rays,” their eyes blare. 
“Brighter! 
More power! 
Give Greater intensity!”

Before I could pull more shields, light explodes!
The young sky and wind side with Sun Ribbons.
Together, they part the clouds, and before I could rend more complaints
They intensify, and break the peace in my cove.

“OK, you win!  I am up!  What now?”

They all first break in giggly chuckles, then they scatter out …
The tweeting birds outside my cove’s side window pick up the campaign:
“It’s about time.  Tweety, Tweety morning, sleepy head!”

I pull down the snuggly covers, and soon enough, I let go. 

“Many thanks, Night!  I gratefully whisper. 
“Indeed, you were a gracious comforter.”
“Hello Daybreak!  Hi, there, Sunny Ribbons!”

My eyes open wide.
They savor a delightful, dreamy interlude:
Night bids, “So long!”
Daybreak exclaims, “Seize it!”
