Florida antidote

I woke up with the smallest of headaches,
and walked into the living room,
and a wave of fresh Florida air arrived, bringing with it the sun and palm,
as it swept through the screen windows of the patio and the open doors of the condo.

Nicole sits, journaling and reading her Bible;
the palms rustle outside;
up above is a bubbly, blue sky with white clouds;
and just outside is an oasis with green and green and glowing green.

refreshing beauty much outweighs the trivial ache of my head,
and I soon forget the pain was even there.
