Fresh damp air

Swirls through dark coffee grounds

Oats and honey tingle my tastebuds

Moments like this are scarcely found


I sit by the light of the rising sun

Surrounded by skyscrapers of wood

Freckled with chestnuts and leaves

A deciduous neighborhood


Frogs jump through the clear creek

Creating mysterious sounds

They are drunk on euphoria

Swimming upstream, completely unbound


With my book in hand

And land as far as the eye can see

On this Sunday morning

I am nothing, if not filled with glee
