It’s a new day.
The sky is cloudy, and rain beacons.
I am home alone.
The silence indoors envelopes me with its cozy blanket.
I watch the morning breeze shake the world awake in my backyard.
The cock is crowing, and the birds are chirping.
My tummy is full to the brim.
My eyelids are droopy.
They have given up the fight against the bobbing, calming waves of sleep that are reluctant to relinquish their hold on me.
