A Glorious Day

Today’s Focail do a Chara

The hypnotic flow from the fountain behind lulls me.

Bells chime in the distance and buildings surround me.

The crunch of footsteps on gravel,

symphony of voices,

and the breeze caresses my bare arms.

A bee tries out the remnant of my breakfast,

but settles on the purple flowers close by.

The sun is up but not yet hot

and a bird hops about looking for crumbs.

I awoke to a nightmare that I had overslept

but now I realize

this will be a glorious day.

I write a blog called "Focail do a Chara," a compilation of arts-based, poetic, and narrative thoughts on living and dying, caring and being.
