An Outing at Night

It's 8:45 and I am standing in front of my apartment breathing in the crisp cool air that flows through my nostril; my body feels tense from all the stress from work today but no worries, just a few minutes of walking will undo the damage and restore the energy that work zapped out of me.  I am standing on a sidewalk, covering by pavements, and on both sides, there are various plants, some have flowers and some do not.  I've taken this walk for some time already but at every new occasion, there is always something new to see and something that stands out which keep me entertained during my walk.  The tall apartments on both sides are mostly dark and quiet in the interior but the apartment to my front left has the sound of a child, perhaps in an infant age, screaming on top of her lungs then it became quiet.  It's about 61 degree outside in the opening and it is actually warmer than before as spring is approaching soon. Most of my neighbors are in bed right now so the peacefulness reflects the soundless environment and the calmness of the dark night.  The earth is quiet in its special way and this peacefulness gives me a sense of belong to this earth.  We are meant to enjoy this great weather and this short life we have so enjoy as we do not know when our last day will be.
