The rain has stopped.
From my desk, I watch
October sunlight play
on the white walls
of the football stadium
across the car-park.
Upstairs, someone else’s boss
moans about the weather
‘It’s raining cats and dogs
and dark as winter’.
I am my own boss
free to watch the slow movement
of sunlight across white walls
as geese fly overhead
winter on their wings.

What a beautifully reflective piece! The imagery evokes a strong sense of place and mood, contrasting the dreariness of the boss’s complaints with the peaceful observation from your desk.
This is beautifully written.
