a short, short story




minutes

 

 

sixty in an hour

        twenty-four times that

        in a day

a year's worth   a lifetime of minutes

 

the fifteen

        that we lost to chance

        are

irretrievable

In very few words surgically assembled you’ve given me much to consider. Bravo Jim

Very eloquently put, Jim. Obviously I am left pondering on your hook - those shared fifteen minutes.
Blessings,

The sparrow
Every minute is like a year
when time embraces the wounds of pain...
Your words touch me...
