The leaves on the trees are almost still
You playback telephone messages in your study
Among the post of many letters
Is the bill
For the first half of our vacation
Also a book of poems Pilgrim
By the poet and philosopher
David Whyte once of Yorkshire
The light was on in the wooden-floored hallway
I noticed that when I first came in
The light was on and here we are at midday already
With exclusive offers for a cruise down the Mekong Delta
Or house insurance
With a free eighty pounds (£80-00) M&S voucher
The calm after the storm the NFU Mutual brochure claims
Yet I take it otherwise rather the storm after the calm
A calm which may take quite some time to return
