Sunday Scribblings - In the Last Hour

Saturday Conversations

 

In the last hour

I drank mediocre coffee in a local café

And recounted blueberry pancakes in another

 

In the last hour

I spoke with a friend --

She shared a truth I needed to hear

 

In the last hour

I listened (for a change) and resolved

To construct a plan (for change)

 

In the last hour

I heard a grandfather teach his young granddaughter

That he hadn't asked the question because he was upset with her

 

In the last hour

I repositioned myself as the sun filled the table

And began to warmly blind me

 

In the last hour

I thought about how love is blinding too

And how our eyes adjust with truth and change and probing questions

I really like all of this, the pace, and yes, the perspective, especially:

"In the last hour

I listened (for a change) and resolved

To construct a plan (for change)"

What a good idea.

[Becca]

Wonderful perspective -in your photo and your words :)
Well done, my friend.

I love the angle you take with the ending of this piece. Very good take with this week's prompt.
