Sunlight Hurdles

I scrambled right up the soft sofa cushions and popped onto the wooden window sill! A bright patch of morning light stretched across the surface, cut into golden stripes by the blinds. I took a bouncing run, hopped over the cool shadow gap, and landed right on the warm spot! My soft shoes made tiny thuds against the smooth pine. I tried another angle—sideways skip, then a quick leap over a rolled-up tape measure! Warm sunshine on my face, full speed ahead!
