At day’s end, she wants no more than to be,
To simply be;
unbridled and far from paper trail,
Earmarked dates and decibels.

There is a place where computers don’t buzz and
Hats aren’t in triplicate;
a place where calluses don’t reign.
Where feet are used only
for measurement and under standing.

A place where minutes cool the hours.

Gentle Spirit, passing shadows, and The Lady,

I'm glad you enjoyed this. Every day it seems like I need a little more transition time from the day's bustle, and poetry seems to calm me. I hope it calms others, too. It's been a nerve racking year for me, and I don't think I would have made it so far if not for the short mental vacations I take I at the computer instead of coffee breaks.
I appreciate your appreciation. Thank you very much for taking time to comment.

And how we all need such a place... such a time. *S*

The title drew me in... and I'm so glad... this is fantastic! *S*

Brilliant word play.

Thank you all for all generous response!

and Jo, TWO long nights at work until it's over and then... I'll kick into gear for the next set... It's a fun job, but having the kids only once a week, 600-700? kids per week, 29 classes per/week, two buildings 15 miles away with about a fifteen minute grace period before my next class... It's really wearing me down. There are moments I would scream if I didn't jot down a poem quickly to post. Poetry is very healthy. How's that for a rant and rave. I appreciate everyone here hanging in there with me.
