A Different Feeling

There’s that feeling in the air today. You know. Early in the morning, the previous day’s heat trapped in the air by a thin cloud blanket at night. The crispness is absent; in its place a strange tepid feeling that a change is on the horizon. Bugs sit quietly, birds are silent. Weird stillness adds an element of ‘Poe’. Memories of late-spring mornings when the warm winds blow from the south clearing out the last signs of winter; flying kites atop a hill while your hair is tossed back and forth. The exhilaration of life that fills the air circulates throughout my body. Spring brings life, rebirth, and new beginnings. There’s that feeling in the air today.
