So Quiet

Not really whining... it's just that the long weekends here on the Slope (I work away from home) sometimes get very tedious. I find myself looking forward to junk email, but even that dries up on Saturday. Now THAT'S a cry for help : >)

 

The weekends are so quiet.

The phone seldom rings,

everyone is busy at home.

The Café is nearly deserted

as all the splendid writers enjoy their time off work…

or sort life out as best they can.

A few stalwart souls post a piece or two

but summer draws most away from their keyboards.

 

I pour another cup of coffee

and check the familiar pages... too often.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Even time seems preoccupied… distracted.

News from friends will come soon enough I suppose

as each one gathers new experiences to write about.

Maybe I’ll check one more time…

the weekends are so quiet.

Author's Note

Thanks Carole, the peace and quiet is indeed welcome at times. The grand-daughters can be a handful when I'm home, even for Poppie!

Oh ~ this makes me feel even lonelier than I already do! How sad, D!! I can see you sitting at your desk feeling like the only one in the world sitting alone, working, Father's Day weekend. I love when you write like this, as though you're talking to yourself and we get to eavesdrop. "Even time seems preoccupied� distracted." Oooooo, even Time has deserted its post. Such a compelling snapshot of abandoned. I can so relate.

I love this. Thank you for your heart. ;-)

Working nights, as I do, with only 'Mr Broadband' can seem pretty quiet sometimes. But like you, I can always rely on my friends at the Caf� to stimulate and cheer me up!

Great share!
