Suck It Up and Get Om With It

My thoughts meandered and started to purge...

Already the scorching heat melts her rationale
not even midday and the burn beads her skin
glistening jewels shimmer brightly from summer sun
yet she is reminded that something is so very wrong
the world is closing in once more and it isn't a surprise
when we live in such sorrow saturated times

Pause...

Then came the text
simply asking if I would like
to go out for the afternoon
perhaps a gentle walk
or have a coffee
my thoughts curled
and lost focus
a walk and coffee
with a friend
why not?

The answer wasn't mine to give
for soon after, three children graced my day
as always, an Auntie is a drop off point
so the parents can have their own fun
sometimes...
well, I was going to moan
throw my dolly out the pram
as they say
then something made me smile
re-focus
it was a typo
in the text I had returned
instead of spelling on
I had spelled om
made me think

Suck it up, get om with it

Calm finds you in the most surreal moments
a wise soul once said to me
time isn't your own
it is a gift
how very true
poignantly so

The answer was never mine to give
and so in the midday glow
that burns my pale skin
I shall simply get om with it
while three children play in the pool
and I reflect on my poor texting skills
