AN INVITATION

Stop! Take a breath and start again.

We know that work is not much fun,

with crazy colleagues, highs and lows;

the meetings, deadlines, e-mails, news;

the letters waiting to be sent

and trains arriving always late,

so find your home and close the door

and settle in your favourite chair

with glass of wine or perfumed tea

or take a bath, the senses free;

tone down the lights and in the dark

set up some candles, banish talk

and find a little calm and space;

relax, just let it go; try this.
