Then what?

Submitted by Owena on March 6th, 2018


 Curled in her bed, a smile would not leave her face.  If only she could control time to slow when things went so well .. and speed it up when they were not.  No, no, she had to walk through it all because on the other side may be something worth everything.  May be, maybe.  She grabbed her quill and wrote.

 

The revellers left the floor sticky

Then what?

The candle used up all the wax

Then what?

Four hearts, perhaps more, broke 

Then what?

Truth whispered in the dark

Then what?

Violent beautiful confessions spill over lips

Then what?

A reflection of hope finds home

Then what?

Falling to his knees, rising to her joy

Then what?

Slow steps towards a paradise 

Then what?

Fears soothed and expectations voiced

Then what?

I don’t know. But I have hope.
