Standout ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #142

She struggled a little
Sometimes
To be noticed

To stand out
From the cacophony
Of life around her

But she knew
Who she was
And what she could do

And if others
Couldn’t see her
That was their problem

Sometimes

I’m confronted with it
So big
So far to go

So little time
How will I explore it all
How will I get there

A step
At a
Time

I don’t know
Just how far
That will take me

Whether
It will be
To the end

So best
To not
Stand still

I create
Layer upon layer
Expression upon expression

The new obscures the old
The old shines through the new

A temporal collage

Of overlapping insights
Expressions, realizations

Hoping, in the end
The sum of it all
Creates some enduring meaning

I found it in my neighbourhood
A decade and a half ago
A greasy spoon, a diner, a joint

A place to hang
To eat, oh-so cheaply
Ham & Eggs & Toast & Hash Browns
Just $2.95, all day

Time goes every year
And never comes back
Yet always comes around
To the same time

And here am I
Year over year
Setting down my characters
Setting down my letters

She believed.

He lied.

Normally, that would have ended it.
