on Spring Break

Pull off the mask of monotony,
the cloak of routine, and
allow the joyful voice
of your hidden heart to sing
with gleeful abandon.
 
Dance!  Fling your arms wide
to embrace the fresh day
with its newly scrubbed face of opportunity.
 
Then wrap the shawl of serenity
around your sturdy shoulders that
have become round from responsibility.

And sink into the comfort
of warm twilight with its 
flickering light and mellow fragrances
that soothe, touch and inspire.
