This is the Day!

waking up!
from awesome dreams!
and reality is a million times better!
you beside me
     oh
and the robin's egg blue sky
smeared ebullient with sun
and tickled with clouds
    oh oh oh
       yes
this is the day I would die to wake up in
this is the day and I'm twelve again
no, five
alive
alive
alive and ready to jump out of bed
and gobble it up
the possibility
the joy
the limitless OOMPH!
