When you are pressed for time, something unexpected happens
A flat tyre and the car cannot move out of the car park
You can scream with frustration at the obdurate fate
Conspiring against you making you late
Why oh why you think, is this happening just now
I have to fix the tyre and I don’t have that sort of time
While you are busy swiping at the Lady Luck
Little can you imagine the forces which are at work
You are late….. but you may have avoided something more unpleasant
When you were moved perforce from one time frame to another
The prism of light shows all colors separated
The events in life just show us only one reality
What may have or would have happened, all stay hidden
We just see what is, not what might have been
In response to the following prompts;
YDWP;
3TC;
FOWC;

This is the sort of thing I remind myself of when life seems to go off track. So many things we never know might have happened if we weren’t sidelined for even a few minutes.

I spell it, tire
Is that because of where I live
Or, am I just “tired”
Life offers so much
Too much, at times
And the moment I think I’m progressing
Boom
Flat tire
Really, tire? Here, now?
Do you not understand what I’m going through
The extent of what I’m already dealing with
And when I’m FINALLY on the right track
Boom
Flat tire

Yeah, like throws us curve balls at inappropriate times, or at least it seems like it! It can be spelled both ways.

That’s one of many reasons why I love blogging! People spell things differently, have different phrases and ways of thinking. Opens up a whole new world I wouldn’t have been introduced to otherwise. Today I learned it is also spelled tyre. Very cool!

This is awesome. I often wonder about things like flat tires and if there is some mysterious (and yet very practical) reason for such things to happen.

very clever use of the prompts ,,, and so right about that sliding door moment! We never know what fate we avoided being late that day … debated with some nuns that we may see the paths we didn’t take at the moment of death 🙂

As humans we are a curious bunch… I too wonder “what if” I had been 5 minutes later? Or taken a left instead of a right? Or said no instead of yes? Wonderful post Sadje!
