29/07 Swallow

Where did my life go?

Many moons ago I was
Dancing
Amongst the flowers
There was a bright sun
And a bold swallow
Flittering nearby
Beak agape and
Scooping
Up the mayflies, midges, bees
I had pigtails
Like my friends and
Didn't have a care in the world
Except to be happy

Now I am sitting
In a chair
Reclining but
Trying to look busy as my
Desk piles up with work
And I only watch
The birds float by
The chair is hard and doesn't work properly
Too awkward for my legs
And I have to stare at
A screen

Oh yes I have my little screen
And it's my life screen
But I hide it from keen eyes
Pretending to
Work work
But all I want to do is find the swallow
Again
