The Yoga Teacher...

Postby Sandra Martyres » Mon Mar 02, 2015 2:23 am

Lying on the sea sands,
He recalled the soft voice
Of his yoga teacher.
Inhale - slowly exhale,
Your stress will dissipate.

A few hours later,
He found himself lying
In the very same spot,
Calmer, but still disturbed.
His life was a nightmare!

A pile of mounting debts,
Creditors at his door,
A suspicious landlord,
Waiting to displace him,
His life couldn't get worse!

Then, thinking about her,
He stood upright, shaking
Off the sand, that had stuck
On his fancy T-shirt,
With luck she'd take him in!

The teacher who loved him,
When he had set his heart
On wooing another,
With much greater pizzazz.
He'd seek a second chance!

Even when all hangs by a thread, we can find a renewal of hope, especially if folks are not disinclined to give folks a second chance, Sandra. We still might find we have hard times to go through, but we can do what needs to be done with a lighter heart and with a smile on our lips, Ma'am.

The surprise ending could change his life for the better. If he respects his former teacher caring for her as much as himself, things should work out. A most enlightening read thank you Sandra.
