The chirping dawn

Since I can remember I have always seen her. Outside my window relaxing near some trees, on a cold night passing by my side, on a bench near a park, where I would normally walk to. She was always a source of comfort to me, a lighthouse that would guide me with her melodies. In my darkest days, I would see her and I would immediately know everything was going to be alright. It almost felt like someone had sent her to be my guardian angel.

This time it was no different. You see recently I had just lost my job, and at the same time rather curiously I realized that my job was not my calling in life. Now some people might say this could be something positive, after all, I just got let down of the job, now I have an opportunity to find what I truly would like to do. However, never have I felt so lost in my life, the uncertainty of what was to come greatly scared me.

Then there she was laying in the sill of the window, her fiery wings tucked in around her body singing me some sweet melody. Suddenly, her wings extended and she flew away with the last breath of the night, my chirping dawn! The one that is always keeping me sane.
