Awakening! Poem by Sumita Jetley

I woke up one fine morning
To a new glistening dawn
The sun peeked through the curtains
And my spirit felt reborn

A fresh breeze blew gently
Through the open window wide
And I felt a sense of freedom
As I stepped outside

The sky was painted gold and pink
With streaks of orange and blue
And I felt my heart beat faster
As I took in the view

The world seemed full of promise
And I felt so alive
As if anything was possible
And I could thrive

I walked along the dewy grass
And felt the earth beneath my feet
And I knew that in that moment
Everything was sweet

The birds sang out in chorus
And the flowers bloomed with grace
And I felt so blessed to witness
This beautiful, peaceful place

So I took a deep breath in
And let the moment wash over me
And I felt a sense of gratitude
For all that I could see

For in that new glistening dawn
I saw the world anew
And I knew that every day
Holds the promise of something true.
