Today is no special day.

no big news, no big event,
not the first spring day,
not a deadline, not a storm,
not a holiday;
well actually it might be,
i don't remember, really.

Today is no special day.

Today does not matter.
And yet as i stepped outside
to get some fresh air;
intentionally, not because of work;
As i sneeze because of the pollen,
shiver from the small breeze,
and scratch my arms from allergies;

I feel alive.

This feeling, uncomfortable yet true, gives me depth, as i slow down to take my surroundings in.

I take a deep breath, looking at the lake.

Today is no special day.
Today doesn't matter.
