A fountain to toss a coin in to, a light conversation on the bus an empty boardwalk to run on a open window; passage for cool breezes Here I am, I’m alive ! A newspaper, rife with woes Markets are tumbling, many are weeping Stock prices ever-sinking, and yet Here I am, I'm alive ! A scent of blooming flowers; so refreshing No sound at all, a sense of ease imbues the moment a slow swim in a sleepy sea. Here I am, I'm alive; Alive in these arduous times when lives are ripped to pieces and apathy is everywhere .. But once again, here I am, thankfully alive !
