“Wave off,” my poem in the moment
huggery works…
I knew what I had to do,
I tried rockin’ and rollin’ with the punch…
Wave off
One of today’s chances,
the not so good kind…
it came my way.
I said “I know you,
you want to take my time,
and that’s all that I will give—
I will not offer up
my peace of mind,
or my resolve to do good things,
or my sense that I may
hug the afternoon
and be happy
to embrace the balance of the day.”
