Waiting

***

Is there anyone out there that likes to wait?

Certainly not me and I offer complaint

Expecting a dull week with no activities 

I get a morning call with proclivities

An outing which I need and want

So I hurry, get ready for the jaunt

Then I receive a call, saying no hurry at all

Decided the timing would be slowed to a crawl.

So I’m sitting here waiting to hear when to leave

Waiting and waiting and waiting to receive

A text that will tell me…I have to believe

This trip, in what hour? will be achieved.

Six Sentence Story

***

My experience recently was with a bank card being denied and nothing to do except go to the bank and have them issue another. Of course all the bills I pay with the original card have to be called and given the new card details. It is irritating but we have no choice!

The Sunday Whirl

The trim on the shiny bowl started to lose its glimmer as I fell deeper into the trance. A sudden chain rattling woke me and I felt faint. The embers of a wild herb burning in the silver bowl calmed me. The moment of feeling free was gone and the reality of sorrow overwhelmed me again. The herbalist dipped more herbs on the embers and my mind was again saved from my daily lament. I was told not to choose this method of healing, but at least I have a few hours of peace.

Joe stood by the shuttle’s on-ramp, waiting to see the winter sky view, where he would watch through windows to see every flake of snow turn the landscape into a skier’s dream.  He often thought of how his ancestors must have struggled to go over these rough mountains.  Reading back into the past, Joe saw letters of the pioneers in his family who overcame what he now enjoys with ease.
