I have made the office spare

The week has been overly full.  Sometimes I sit in my office, my blissfully spare office, and simply breathe.  I aim to make it a breathing place for my clients as well.  

I have made the office spare:

Walls of warm beige,

Decoration minimal,

Striped rug for color

On the floor.

There is room here

For many stories

To come and go,

Re-ordered,

Re-written,

Re-captured week by week.

Here hope might be reclaimed

Like so many lost coins

Under the sofa cushions,

From the plaid chair

Opposite,

Or more directly

From Above.

I wish I could meet everyone here

But I am not in charge

Of every space I occupy.

I am barely in charge

Of this one.
