Waiting in the Long Heat

Waiting in the long heat
for help with my stranded car,
I raise the bonnet for shade
and perch on the bumper bar.

I settle and look up.
Blue sky and a beautiful tree
straight in front of my gaze
are sweet and calming to me.

    How great to find beauty right before your eyes even if the moment is a bit stressful! Hope you didn't have to wait too long!

    Sometimes I think we are forced to stop so that we can take in the beauty of our lives.
    Wonderful reminder
