Bang! The car door slammed behind me. Turning, my feet stepped from the back parking lot into the alleyway beside church; I headed toward the front door. The sun shone brightly on my face, warming it. A smile, the kind with little upturned ends, spread across my face. It feels so good. The breeze, an early-spring kind of warm, played with my wavy, brown hair and tickled my skin. It feels so good.
Chirp! Chirp! Could that be a robin? Where is it? I asked myself, looking up, down, left, and right. Where is it? My little feathered friend was shy and chose to remain out of sight.
I need to hurry. I”ll be late. I willed my feet to hurry along. Then, music and joy and God’s people praising Him. How great to be alive!
I ran up the concrete stairs, reached out my hand, grasped the door knob, pulled it open, and entered. “God is in his heaven, and all is right with the world,” I quoted to myself.

Packed with imagery. I especially love the description of a bird that the narrator can’t even see.

I loved building my own images from your words. The sun and birds chirping is about all I need to erase some of my worries, too. Entering into a church filled with music would make me even happier. The quote at the end is perfect! Thanks for sharing.

Such sensory details that painted a picture in my mind. The warm breeze was my favorite. I’m just longing to feel the warm sun and warm breeze after this cold and snow past we’ve had where I live.

Thanks for the feedback. I know what I’m trying to say, but I’m not always it is coming across to the reader. Thanks for the comment.

My daughter and I were celebrating that we saw a robin near our home yesterday. I enjoyed how you used italics when you were documenting your thoughts as you took in the Springtime sounds.

Isn’t that the BEST-seeing the first robin of spring? Our neighbor says that here in Wisconsin, the robin has to have snow on his tail 3 times before spring can really be here. I “think” we have accomplished that…I only heard the robins. I sighted one yesterday! Yea!
