People and streets and birds and sun,

Dreamin’ of springtime, I come undone.

Waiting, anxiously. The sun wakes my soul–

Sun rays draw me in, gravitational pull.

I need budding trees, my vitamin D!

I want my sunshine, I want spring–

Too many days wasted by cold weather,

Too many nights wasted, they could be better.

Oh, spring. Spring. SPRING!

I’ve decided that I truly depend on the sun for my sanity– the option of spending time outside and not freezing to death… I want to get a nice dark suntan this year, because I feel like I need to absorb all of the sun and it’s goodness in my skin after all of the doubts and dramas from last year and this winter. I need to be able to escape into the forest, the trees, and smell the world again. I’m over with the smell of diesel and air pollution. I want to smell grass and pine trees and the canyon breeze. In the fall, I will be surrounded by the sweet smell of eucalyptus trees and alien flowers and a new landscape– AUSTRALIA! I can’t wait. I will smell the ocean again. I’m going there on an art exchange study abroad thing 🙂
