Flee

A poem by Neil Bates caught my recent mood…

Saturday Night, Dreaming of a Holiday

It’s Saturday night

I’m staying in again.

Outside my window

it’s starting to rain.

I close my eyes and imagine

I am in a different space,

Far away from this winter

in an endlessly hot place.

Serene

Next week at this time, I’ll be getting ready to get on a plane, and escape to London UK for a week. I’ve never needed this respite more…
