A bellflower caught in the snow
If only it had bloomed a few days later
It could’ve been avoided if it grew more slow
Maybe if the clock paused time
She wouldn’t be late to her interview
And would’ve gotten her position part-time
If he had just decided to stay home
He wouldn’t be a suspect
He’d be free to roam
Eviscerate the words in the book
That could’ve been stopped
If someone just overlooked

Time is an issue for us all. Well written
Indeed it is, thank you Soren
You are most welcome Allie
Allie, this has a haunting inevitability to it. Snow, missed interviews, suspicion, overlooked words…everything circles around timing, consequence, and the painful awareness that tiny moments can reshape entire lives. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you so much Tristan! You understood it completely, I was centering this poem on wrong place wrong time. And yes, little things can completely change our lives. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment friend.
