I Watch

I watch 
as the early morning sunlight
peeks through my window shades
casting it's golden glow 
across the placid sea of my covers
how I long
to lie here forever 
and revel in the freedom 
of dreamland 

I watch 
as the glow of the moon 
replaces the fading colors of day 
with a soft
but cold light
gently illuminating the frozen hills that surround 
and making everything sparkle

I watch 
as my dear siblings 
laugh
and smile
and smirk
when they learn they've grown
yet another inch

I watch 
as the mountains
put on their festive white hats
and the trees dress
in elegant gowns of ice

I watch 
as day turns to night 
summer turns to autumn 
child turns to teen 
I sit 
and sing 
and I watch 
as the world lives.
