Prompt: April Morning Write about an ideal April morning, if possible in a warm and cheerful mood. ------------ Where I live, the air is not slightly warm but with bright sunshine that heats up the day, so much so that I have to have the AC on by noon. This morning, though is a beauty, only because it is more tolerable. So, my son took his coffee to the porch and I followed his example with my tea. The wide expanse of the golf course was bright green under the sun, except for the lightened shades of the trees here and there. I heard a few birds chattering and a song or two, although I couldn't tell what kind of birds they were from their sounds. All I know is that some of them are local while others are the migratory ones. The neighbor next-door waved at us, sleepily, while taking care of his small plot of a garden. A couple of golfers looking for golf balls came closer to us and waved at us, too, which made me think, how wonderful a world we would have if we could just wave at other countries and they would wave back at us and also at each other, without getting into one another's ways! But the mess that is happening with the world should not mess me up, also, not on a morning like this. On an April morning like this, time slows down just enough to notice the little things: bird songs, bright colors under the sun, the smile on my son's face as he sips his coffee, and the rhythm of my own breath. So for a little while, the world feels just right. |
