Worth Getting Up For

The morning sun works to free
Blades of grass from their icy prison.
Made captive overnight,
Now they wait for freedom
And one last chance
For adding brilliant green
To a landscape filled with blood-red leaves
That mark the coming winter.

A witness to this struggle,
My awe hangs in the air
Frozen, like my breath
By the beauty that surrounds me.
