Patiently we wait and watch you Jan, as you step over your papers and books, piled neatly until they fall over. We are by the windows where you promised hours of meditation, windows opened after new summer rain has made way for sunshine. Candles with floral scents, soft purses with crayons and pens, greeting cards for faraway friends: We wait and watch you move through each day. Up so early yet wanting more sleep, you ignore your inviting pillow. We watch you worry and tumble into task after task. The phone rings even now, and you take on the new responsibility.
One word- Relatable. and what a way to put it. I really like this one.
Thank you, Bhasha! I’m going to look for your works now.
Oh this is so well written! Loved it!
Thank you, Skay. I’m learning so much from these fast prompts, and only now — a few days later — can I return from my busy life and revise and catch up on communication. What are you considering for the anthology?
@janinmarathon sorry couldnt respond earlier. I did submit a couple of my poems for the anthology. hours 10 and 3, what about you?
