22/02/21 The goodbye

What was it I said,
or maybe something I did?
That chased them away!

I got news today,
someone didn’t want to stay,
so they’ve gone away.

As they say, “That’s life!”
Who knows what they are thinking,
or what they have done?


Tommow they’re gone,
and there is an empty chair,
at the ‘Teams’ meeting.

What can you say, eh?
Just get on with life and work,
and things that matter.

The tables are turned,
the result’s unexpected,
but came just the same.

I do not feel joy,
only an empty relief,
with no rejoicing.

The day had a glow,
the way the light was falling,
and there was a mist.

There was silent rain,
that soak the earth completely,
and without a noise.


Even the night does glow,
like an alien landed,
or the end has come.

These strange weather days,
that arrive so unexpalined,
almost un-noticed.
