Answered Prayer
In the dark
I stubbed my toe on an interruption
stumbled almost tumbled in the awkward three step trundle
to recover balance
cursed the moment as impediment
mumbled harm to whoever left the trip hazard in my path
and stood
suddenly in light
confronted by harm
had I continued as before
Humbled
I gave thanks for the blessing
disguised as interloper
and for someone’s answered prayer
offered for my wellbeing
