NaPoWriMo #30: Made it! Free Write

Being Late

I remember that little breathless
moment
when I realized I was late.

This one was like a flower
opening
not like the ones

before you’re married
that are like
razor blades

nicking your brain
with worry.
No, this one

was the sun rising,
ocean waves
kissing the sand,

thoughts of blue eyes
and blond curls.
This late was a smile.

Linda, I loved this and can relate to both. The razor blade feeling and the flower opening. What a lovely thought, that second one!

Again with the perfect, sweet ending. Like a kiss! I'm hooked.
