of raindrops on leaves

the gentle patter
of raindrops on leaves
spring trees ©
Midmorning sun
Streams in
Floods the room
Warm and bright,
As regulars chat
Over tea and biscuits
And trolley service
Continues.
Attached to drips
Poorly patients
Struggle to settle
Losing their battle
With sleep,
As monitors beep
And ward round
Continues. ©
