BANG!

The word of one becomes the want of many.

Who will wait the time?

Who will stay up all night waiting…

To become the next in line.

The endless circle spins with despair.

So many hits at once,

I cannot help but stare.

I try and try again but this site must be impossible to reach.

I guess I will wait a few more minutes,

Before my impatience gets the best of me.

The circle loads, loads and loads again.

How much more can it truly go?

The rotation surely doesn’t last forever,

My expectations should stay low.

Hopefully, it all works out,

And this waiting was not for nothing.

I’d love to follow through,

If it falls apart I may start to pout.

Although the wait is long,

At least I am here.

This could’ve never happened to me,

And I may have steered clear.

I am back now.

The deed is done.

Not sure just how,

I managed to sway the circles away.

Maybe it is your turn now,

To try to learn some tricks.

Think a little,

Live a little,

And be open to the new world of POW!

Green Circle Spins

Round and round it goes When will it stop? The colour of grass and lime Make my skin as white as the snow That falls oh how heavily On the patchy gravel roads The money paid doesn’t getaway From the cracks and holes spotted daily Or the roadkill on the sidewalks As I walk down […]

This is a piece about first days of school, but this piece could still apply in many other challenging scenarios.
