cicadas buzzing
solar fountain in the bird bath bubbling
siren in the distance
somewhere around the alley bend, geese are honking
a car engine revs and a man yells
blue jays
cardinals
bees buzzing
yesterday's reheated coffee has gone lukewarm
a slight breeze blows the porch curtains
the groundhog perches on his rock silently watching charlie
there are chores to do, but for now i sit
away from news and social media, and the anxiety it propagates
my stomach growls reminding me i need to eat
and move back into the coolness of the house
i give in to its need reluctantly and begin the day
Stop at least once a day and savor something joyful.
