A Simple Short Story
A story that will forever stay with me.
I sat there on that park benchWith mascara stained cheeksThinking about what to do next.Where I was going to go,Who I was going to meet,I must've sat there for hours, just thinking...
when a nice old man sat down beside mewe just sat thereenjoying the comfortable music of nature.him looking at the beautiful view and me still thinking away.
I felt like my sniffles were starting to bother himso I was getting ready to get up when a butterflylanded on my hand and the old man turned to me,"don't think," he whispered with a smile,"It complicates things...just feel, and if it feels like homethen follow it's path."
and for once...the thoughts stopped.I looked at the scenery and actuallysaw how beautiful it was.and when the butterfly flew off my handon its own path...
I felt all my worries and doubts go with it.
written by me of course.I hope you enjoyed.This happened to me right afterI moved out of my foster parent's house.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
