One evening in the park

Suddenly the lights come on and dusk is upon us
The leaves are rustling in the breeze
The flowers are going to sleep
The mad pace of day is starting to ease

Gleeful children playing freely
Quiet conversations of gentle cliques
Cackles of laughter, hoots and giggles
The vapidness of unkind shrieks

'Catching up' with one another
At the end of a long day or week
Laughing together over cups of coffee
Just friends, no longer office geeks

These walls enclose my home and friends
These gardens are where our children play
Let's take a moment to stand together
And savour an uneventful day.
