Ohio Day


It can't mean nothing

But it also can't mean something
 
It's like one of those days.
Like an Ohio mid-March
Kind of day.
Where there's not a cloud 
in the whole sky
And there's nothing but blue
Surrounding you.
No clouds visible at all
 
And the air feels 
unusually warm 
With all the sun's radiance.
It's so warm
That you forgot what 
Life was like without a winter.
 
All is touched 
by the grace
And warmth of the sun's rays.
And all the objects 
that are captivated
Cast a shadow
on the adjacent side.
 
The people crawl out 
from under their rocks
And awake from 
Winter's dreaded hibernation
And bathe in the sun's heat
And bask in its glory.
 
And the weight of the winter
Becomes lifted 
And the grey clouds fade
And life is rejuvenated again.
