I joined the birds
in their morning song
the clear blue sky
and the icy white fields
the cold fresh air
on my warm face
as I breathed deeply
the stillness joined me
for me there is no other way
to start a perfect day
I joined the birds
in their morning song
the clear blue sky
and the icy white fields
the cold fresh air
on my warm face
as I breathed deeply
the stillness joined me
for me there is no other way
to start a perfect day
Pale blue clear sky
warm orange on the horizon
White rooftops
Glittering icy ground
glistening in the
morning moonlite sky
Icy underfoot
cold air brushes my face
What a fantastic start
to a new day
The late shopping trip
almost to awful to bare
the shelves almost empty
people wandering around
with empty trolleys
aimlessly wondering
what shall I put in here?
so they fill them up
with useless things
and worry about
what to serve Christmas day
I really don’t get it
I don’t understand
All of this worry
All of this food
just for one day.
When the shops will be closed
and the assistants stay at home
cause they have a life too.
I’m taking it easy
what I haven’t got now
I’ll do without
Sausage rolls and quiche Lorraine
dips with carrot and celery sticks
olives stuffed with great delights
kebabs on skewers
crisps in bowls
chocolate cake with smarties on
After eights waiting til late
warm white wine from a box
polite conversation
Christmas music
The clock ticks slowly
the time drifts on
Its 8pm I can go home
Yet another Work Christmas DO!
Anticipation
excitement
breath taking
emotional
moving
invigorating
unfolding
gentle
heightened
crescendo
Awe inspiring
humbled
wind whipping
Rain pouring
cold creeping in
Drenched coat
soggy hat
puddles in my boots
stinging face
dripping nose
not a pretty sight
home at last
warm inside
Kettles on
I’ll watch the weather
from the inside
I want to stay where its warm and safe
Under the duvet
in my own home
Just once, just today
I want to smile a real smile
not a false one
which hides how I feel
I want to go to work
without the moaning and whinging
If I offer my help
I don’t want it ignored
Just once I want you to
accept the help, stop your moaning
and be happy
Just once, just today lets really smile
After all , we are at work all day
