After the Whirlwind

Early morning wakening,
rising from a dream world of
yachts and spies and sorting CD’s and jars of something,
when, from ether's land came floating down, like dry leaves and scraps of paper, three disconnected bits of yesterday left behind ~ two for home and one a promise and left behind on clipboard and in staff room.

There was pungent delicious rosemary from a colleagues garden,
research papers for interesting study and learning and
a bit of shift change reporting that was missed at day's end.
Each scrap left behind held the element of a promise
A promise of delicious savoury meat on the grill.
A promise of gleaning information for my use in writing.
A promise to pass on a client’s request.
Which holds more importance?
