Hello, It's Time

HELLO, IT'S TIME.... I called her the other day with intrepid hesitation, ‘hello, how’re you doing, dear, I’ve a proposition, you’ve tight schedule, but please don’t turn it down, could we meet tomorrow somewhere downtown’. ‘Hello, good morning, I’m sorry to disturb you’, I said to my busy office colleague I hardly knew, ‘Could you please take care of the boss if he calls, I’ve to leave early for urgent work before dusk falls’. I found passage of my car blocked in parking slot by a car, a man perhaps sleeping inside I thought. Losing time I lost temper, in my head anger flew, I barked, ‘hello, what do you think you’re up to’? I was getting late for my date, I was out of my wit, drove like formula one driver, crossed speed limit. From nowhere the traffic police pounced on me Coolly he asked, ‘hello, what’s the great hurry’? She was on her way to leave, shrouded in doubt. I ran and said, ’hello, please wait, hear me out’, no response, not looking back she walked away. The dear price of being late for date I had to pay. I sank in depth of depression and mental pain. Knowing from there I had to lift myself up again, enjoy the transient beauty called life being wise. I said to me, ‘hello, time to see the new sun rise’. January 15, 2019
