Amidst the day to day
I lose it
Slips down behind the washing machine
Tucked under a stack of clothes
Buried under paperwork
I can’t see it in the orders
To do this and that
The phone calls
Taken and dialled on the run
I can’t see you
For the jostle of everyone
Wanting
Something
Done
Right now!
And when stillness does come
At the end of the day or at the beginning
nerves are frayed
And
I just want time to myself
And so do you
To let the mind unwind
And come back
To the room
So
I let you go
With your bag packed today
Check list
Checked
Came home to find
You had left
You didn’t wait
For my return
And
I realised
I forgot to tell you
“I love you, see when you get back – travel safe”
Header photo my husband a photo taken ages ago, one evening, he was studying plans, quoting – always busy – we are always busy.
Reading your poems out loud from the couch to my boyfriend as he lifts weights. Thank you for your work, your words, your allowing the divine to flow through you 🙂
Oh that’s a lovely thing to say really touched 🥰
Always busy indeed — which makes it all the lovelier that your beautiful words allow us to stop & think…
Oh Thankyou that’s a lovely thing to say
Oh I can relate to this. There’s always more to do and by the end of the day, you’re spent and another task (or two or three) are diverted to tomorrow. Sometimes we even forget some bigger things.
