Poem 1/3

Original:
Finally No Snow


Endless days and starry nights
That lead to waking in daylight. 
Finally relaxing; All of my worries, removed.
And no absurd projects soon to be due.

Rediscovering unfamiliar things,
Like lush green blankets and birds that sing.
Winds that blow in skies of blue
Salty seaweed scents and swift sounds of anew

I am now able to travel and explore
And much less fabric is to be worn.
I can journey anywhere; everywhere I will go.
The seasons have changed, there is finally no snow.

Revision:
Finally No Snow

Endless days and starry nights
That lead to waking in late light. 
Finally relaxing; All of my worries, removed.
And no absurd papers soon to be due.

Rediscovering unfamiliar things,
Like lush green blankets and birds that sing.
Winds that blow in skies of blue
Sweet sugar scents and swift sounds of anew.

I am now able to travel and explore
And much less fabric is to be worn.
I can journey anywhere; everywhere I will go.
The Earth has changed, there is finally no snow.
