Out for a noon lunch stroll

along the joggers' path,

found a bench in the cooling shade.

 

Birds chirping,

unconcerned. Insects

darting in the mid-day sun,

soft breeze toying with the fallen leaves.

 

A running man nearly passes, stops, and wheezes:

"A good place to rest!"

 

"As good a place as any!" i reply.

 

He sits, bent, breathing

labored, face knotted in a strain

beyond mere physical exertion.

 

Grace gathered in him until he could turn and ask:

 

Do you mind if I ask you a question?"

 

"Please feel free."

 

"Well, what do you do when you're under a lot of stress?"

 

"You can start by asking:

`Who is the one under a lot of stress?'"

 

Something stopped.

His face unlined.

 

"Thank you!" he offered.

 

"Think nothing of it!" i replied.

 

He rose and resumed his run.

The birds chirped on, unconcerned.

The insects darted in the mid-day sun.

The soft breeze toyed with the fallen leaves,

whispering unspeakable things.

 

 

LoveAlways,
