Sketch

Spring Morning

First rays of sun, the sky, pink and light blue against the green and brown of the mountain.
In the distance, the lake sparkles with a golden light.  The world seems to me, a fairly land of light and sound.

There!  The birds have begun to sing their goodmorning songs.  They chatter as they fly to and fro in their early morning games.  On the antenna, the sparrows have roosted.  They look like a bunch of gossips exchanging the tales of their night adventures.  I wonder, do sparrows dream?

In the distance the factory, that never closes, hums.  A car passes and then a motorcycle close behind it.  Where can they be going at dawn.

I wonder, who else is up at this hour, besides me of course.

The coffee pot bubbles and splutters.  The smell of coffee fills the room, it calls me. The air, yes, the air on my terrace is crisp and cold.  The wind is still though.  Shivering, I close the terrace door and go to drink my coffee.

  1. I like how it is present tense, as though you are writing while viewing, can’t wait to transcribe. So fleeting are impressions. And then I could almost smell the coffee…..

  2. I felt I was there, heard the birds, saw the lake smelled the aroma of the morning café…lovely! You described the house I was raised…the only difference it is a river…the carpet factory across the river operates 24/7. Wow!
