Big bright bubbles of sunny laughter burst
from my lungs and I grin with the blue sky,
It's a beautiful day today.
Smiling at the cute chick biking with her brown
leather vest hugging her black and white horizontal
stripe shirt pedaling her fixie downhill in rhythm to
Vampire Weekend's "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa"
filling my head as I skip down the street
and I grin with the green trees.
Smiling at the deliciously heady scent of onion bagel
wafting out from Specialty's at the corner
with its burgundy parasols dotting the front,
tempting the passerbys to take a minute, enjoy
sipping coffee, munching cinnamon sugar morning bun,
a slice of heaven right there, in the concrete jungle,
and I grin with the chattering birds.
Smiling at the woman in her smart chocolate suit
with a fluff of afro, chic sunglasses,
clickety clack of her stiletto heels reverberating,
Elderly couple walking hand in hand,
matching pastel yellow hooded sweatshirt,
a gigantic fanny pack decorating her belly,
a tiny boxy ice cooler trailing him,
I wonder if Travis and I will be like that one day.
I smile and I laugh, joyously,
letting the bubbles burst forth once more,
lifting my head up to the sky,
breathing in this lovely day.
Thank you, Mother Earth, for this moment,
I am truly blessed because I love to live and I live to love.
