Wake up to the morning light through curtains,<\/p>\n
Freshen up<\/p>\n
to the sounds of the city<\/p>\n
cars honking, skidding to a halt, sirens heard<\/p>\n
with the soft cries, a baby asks to eat.<\/p>\n
The whiff of coffee is strong to nose —<\/p>\n
enough to stay alert.<\/p>\n
The sound of a toaster releasing bread.<\/p>\n
Next up<\/p>\n
a walk around a lake<\/p>\n
to feel some coolness among the sticky, wetness of the sun beaming down<\/p>\n
with the humidity.<\/p>\n
Witnessing egrets, blackbirds, comorants, mallards and geese grazing, sleeping, and looking for food.<\/p>\n
By the time night falls,<\/p>\n
able to witness the sun setting showering its light across the island<\/p>\n
reflecting against the river<\/p>\n
bouncing off buildings<\/p>\n
of red, orange, yellow colors.<\/p>\n
cuddle up with a book and some fragrant tea.<\/p>\n
Time to say good night<\/p>\n
relax in an air conditioned room away from sticky hot summer day.<\/p>\n
