FLASH FICTION FOR THE PURPOSEFUL PRACTITIONER: 2022: WEEK #34 – My mind’s puzzled

My mind’s puzzled as I walk on wet ground

Judging from our texts things are not going well

Heart pounding, mouth dry and I couldn’t tell

Film of disappointment going round and round

The breeze was still as the background

Filtering hurt and pain are we in hell?

My mind’s puzzled as I walk on wet ground

Judging from our texts things are not going well

We’ve gone through a lot, can we still stick aound?

Mindful of the good times  and adventures so swell

Things happened and gone was the spell

No regrets, best to part, that I have found

My mind’s puzzled as I walk on wet ground*
