happiness is sleeping in (a nonet)

 

after a restful night’s sleep, i woke

to soft rain, the rap of a bird

on the pane—like music spun

for a chorus of play—

instead of the dread,

ache of the head,

and the plans of

an alarm-

devised

day

  2. I love this, Jennifer. Happiness can always be found in the simple things, in nature and in rest, especially sleeping in and listening to rain on the window.
