Another awesome poem I found:

Don't tell me you've never dreamed of this –
of waking in a room with a wide open window,

the air clear and ringing after night rain;
of needing no other reason than a sky

the unbelievable blue of which
sends you flitting deftly through the house

past the year-old jar of nails and flies,
the pile of dishes in the sink, and out the back door

where you're caught for an instant in the brightness
because the future's so much easier than you'd thought –

slipping your heart under the rosebush like a key,
everything you need in the canvas bag

resting lightly at your hip
and life as simple as turning left or right
.

"As I Walked Out," Esther Morgan

Love the language in this poem! It's strangely calming and I like how it emanates this strong sense of possibility and hope. My favorite line is "slipping your heart under the rosebush like a key," that's some really great imagery in my opinion.
