About the Work

"Timing" delicately weaves the theme of love's multifaceted nature through vivid imagery and rhythmic prose.

Original Submission by Rebecca Mitchell

Timing

Three dance floors

Three lovers

Three different versions of me

I met my loves through the rhythm of life

Each playing a different melody

One would break me

The other would make me lose control

And the last…

He made me face it all

Face the blame

Face the shame

And here

I learnt to love again

R.Mitchell
