Teacups n' Ivy

A basket of 

flower seeds needing

to be sown

empty teacups without

company visiting 

the home

and Ivy leaf's 

green glistening

lovely as ever had

shown

Still ....

they're not people

to touch.. caress. and

kiss

to hold each other 

nightly..and tightly

these are the

things I miss

when will this 

deadly nightmare

end

and can we start anew

going to and fro 

to do what we used

to do

I cannot fathom

just existing 

much longer as we are

but rather be living

reaching for the sun

no matter how 

near or far

We have had such freedom of association and movement for so long that the isolation imposed by this crisis is wearing hard on many. Yet the reality seems to be that if we return to mingling we will just be prolonging the agony. The words of Thomas Paine seem appropriate: "These are the times that try men's souls."

yes they are trying times
this shelter in place staying
home has us all on edge..
