Winter Roost

Congratulation! Oh, congratulations!
The greeting day of unexpected chill,
has vanished, and now our destination,
is, as was hoped, a comfort and a thrill.

The activities I almost circumvented,
in hesitation and a passive twist,
can be enjoyed as proactively assented,
caught on, again, to knack of eye and wrist.

The sun has shown again its beaming welcome;
a day to rest need not be seen as gloom.
Although home scenes and friends we miss some,
just think, around us are these palms and bloom.

Wake up. Let the creative juices flowing,
be directed into accomplishment and fun.
Work of preparing, morphed into mood outgoing,
a home for the season, blessed with sand and sun.
