Headphones in my ears.

Bonfire bright, crickets chirping.

Friends gather and laugh.

Friends around the block,

Different ethnicities,

But we all are one.

                                                                                            –Sargis Sedrakyan

The Sun is shining,

Ocean waves hit restlessly,

The breeze blows gently.

Tomorrow I’ll lay,

In bed a little longer 

It makes all the difference.
