Voices from inside

Looking at us,
two tall, stoical green soldiers,
wedged in a convenient corner,
you'd never guess
our growing inner turmoil.

We've been pretty much miserable
cooped up day and night,
inside a fashionable restaurant.

Our requirements can be easily met.

We simply need to get out to...
glow as well as grow
in a cocoon of sunshine,
feel a bit of the 'boisterous wind'
giving us a wicked nudge,
now and then.

Just sick  and bored of standing still,
forced to listen to the
incessant hum of the air-conditioner,
the ceaseless chatter of
food lovers trooping in and out,
the jarring noise of crockery, cutlery,
and the non stop smell
of  trays and trays of food.

Actually...
dreaming of a sojourn outside,
under the stimulating rays
of a  welcoming sun.

Our tall friends outside

have extended a warm invitation.
