My eyes open to hear the whistle of a far off trian in the distance.

I turn on my side and try so  very hard to ignore its existence.

I hear the coo of a dove fluttering so high in the sky.

I cannot keep my eyes shut no matter how very hard I try.

I hear the chimes in the wind as it scatters its beautiful music in all directions.

All of a sudden I feel so very aware of all my own imperfections.

The time is vividly here and it is beckoning me to rise and meet the new day.

I have this deep wonderment of just what it is I am going to find along the way.

So here I go to make it on my own,
here I go to do it all alone.

I am not afraid as I know I can do it,
as it is the only way I have ever known.

My head will be up and I will search high and low to answer these questions of what it is I want to know.

So here I come world once again to see your magical and most mysterious show.

Most of all I want you to know I will do it with a vibrant hope and a whimsical glow.

Thank you so much world for all this wonderful excitement that you continuously hold!
