Simply Six Minutes

Sitting silent, waiting for something

The edge of adventure hoped for

Will it be at the end of this path

Will a white sail suddenly appear on the water

I sit and wait, dream of what might be

The moonlight suddenly glistens on a figure walking towards me

The anxious anticipation visible in my thumping chest

Could this be the wish granted on a falling star?

And then I see it, a shiny metal badge that comes with a warning voice:

“Ma’am you can’t be out here. The park closed at nine.”

I stand up, my shoes carried in my hand and say hello to reality., again.
