The Workings.

Needed a quick release and a break from the book.

Too much to do

Too much to say

Not enough hours in the day. 

The workplace buzzes 

Cogs turning

Wheels grinding 

Chatterers Chattering. 

Printers printing

scanners scanning 

Coffee? Love one. 

Home-time soothes

But a mocking bird sits on the living room door. 

Don't you have something better to do?

How quickly the mind jumps 

away from original thoughts, 

feelings, 

memories, 

queries, 

That song's stuck in my head again. 

Its an empty happiness

Yet it fills me with confidence 

And hope

That something more will come. 

Reviews

[Edward Lancheister]

my favorite stanza

Its an empty happiness
Yet it fills me with confidence
And hope
That something more will come.

postive mind thought & courage

thanks for share

[Myenigma]

like it, the begining, the mocking bird on the living door to the encouragement at the end.
