two days before

The grass was soaked with the cool morning mist. The sun was finally coming up and his thoughts were finally settling down. As the sun sparkled on the landscape around him he remembered all that was still left. Yesterday’s events would not be what destroyed or defined him. His head lifted and he saw a red cardinal above him. Beyond him was a beautiful blue sky. Life and beauty still existed. Good was still present and that would be his focus. The bird filled the sweet air with his soft but proud song just as he had two days before.
