Seawater
What would luck look like if you held it in your hands a Vagabond Voices prompt challenge
Time and time again I stare
at glistening warm seawater held in my hands
thinking how lucky I am to have been presented
with the right life choices to act upon.
One freezing winter’s morning
in between jobs with little else to do
other than go and meet friends in Irish bars,
my phone and I both sat idle
patiently waiting to be buzzed with exciting news.
I stopped looking at the poor fella as I’m sure
my projection was affecting its performance.
Nah, that didn’t work either.
Then came the suggestion I needed;
“Don’t hang around here; you have tour money saved
come and meet us in Thailand”, said Daryl.
“Yeah come on, it will be great fun”, offered Lucy.
So in my hands, I held the first piece of luck
a plane ticket, like one of many held before
only this one was a life-changing ticket
one which led me to hold glistening warm seawater
time and time again.
Yes, I did bring me phone…
