Playing Requests

 

I seldom play requests

Hardly ever did on the radio

Rarely do it here

But once in a while-

 

As I was watching the clouds pass by

Just looking at the big city

From a perch high atop

Taking it all in

 

From behind one way glass

Looking at the office workers

Scurrying from meeting to meeting

Grabbing coffee and wondering

 

What goes on behind the glass

In the middle of the day

As some toil

Others are spoiled

 

Relaxing with a tall glass of spirits

The midday sun shining through

With a friend

A close friend

One who really makes it fun

 

The fun’s on her

And she’s certainly in the game

Like a fine wine

She works to harvest the nectar

 

A special wine

A special time

The nectar of life

Casting cares to the wind

 

It’s over in a moment-

Spilt over the valley

But outside the world rolls on

And the clouds still float by

It’s beautiful
