Peace At The End Of The Day.

Goldfinch60



The day is over,

A busy day,

But not a bad day,

With my lover all the time.

We joke and laugh,

Laugh at and with each other,

Creating such happiness in our life.

Then the evening came

And a Committee meeting was held!

A meeting where you take minutes

And waste hours!

It was at last over

Thank goodness!

So we sat in our lounge,

I had a scotch by me,

Laphroaig of course.

I put some music on

And we just sat and listened,

Calming down to the sound,

The sound of Chopin,

His Nocturnes surrounding us.

A sip of scotch in my mouth,

Calmness reigned.

The day was over

And all was now wonderful,

As music had brought us back,

Back to our world of love and peace.

    Urgh, not 'meetings' - the worst part of a job, and areas outside of work too, I think.
    We had committees and sub-committees. how did we ever do any actual work?!
    A horrible Manageress was lounging on a sofa on her mobile in the office one day. She 'worked from home' too - ahem! Thankfully we didn't have her ALL time I was in that job.

      Very true Orchi.

      Some people work better at home than they do at work.

      Oh yeah? Do people actually 'WORK from home'? I suppose most do.

      "Peace At The End Of The Day" is a celebration of love, companionship, and the power of music to soothe and rejuvenate the spirit.

        So true Mottakeenur, thank you.

            Avoid meetings at all costs!! Sounded as though you and her managed to salvage the day. It sounded like a very blissful ending to a very stressful meeting. Enjoyed this read. - Phil A.
