Inside the office, at the workdesk, idle screen and Conway's game of life, no mails;
Manager in conference call with Japanese;
"More evaluation required"-- he nervously repeats;
The printer tirelessly runs,
Someone's printing quite a lot;
usually it doesn't run that long.
My new monitor is a flat screen LCD,
With an orange tag telling me,
"Sunday April 14th, 1912, remember me";
My manager's manager sits straight to my left,
His eyes hovering across the office floor,
Like a lighthouse torch,

But out of all this looking to the window, to the view outside,
In the sky at noon, watching the moon hide,
Stealing a glimpse from behind the clouds flowing by;
Is like Her face or its reflection in still water,
I cannot come near nor touch--forever I may try.

interesting, vital reflection, gave a feeling of sadness....but, filled with images I could relate to very well.

I felt the longing and wistfulness of your words. Some very descriptive passages. i.e.

~ "But out of all this looking to the window, to the view outside,
In the sky at noon, watching the moon hide,

Giving you a warm, welcoming hug,
Earth Angel
