two colleagues just dropped by
to deliver flowers and a card to say
get well soon,
come, back
life sends surprises
and I, as I am today
dishevelled
tired
without the veneer of my work life
tongue tied
stared back in barely concealed delight
at being face to face
with genuine eyes
and revived
spent the next 15 minutes
finding vases, pretty blue bottles
and filling them with fragrance
from the relationships that
keep me sane.
