Today
By Claudia Z.
The bright sun shines directly in my face.
I hear children laughing, people talking
and birds singing their legendary, miracle song.
I see the light blue sky above the vast green hills.
I feel silence and white puffy clouds all above me.
I taste the crisp morning dew.
I feel the soft, warm gravel below me
and my feet sifting through the tickling sand
under the crystal water.
I smell fragrant flowers
and the scent of Mongolian barbeque.
