covid 19 re-imagined
I view my world through a green glass
Darkly.
That, which was natural is now unnatural.
Only Nature and the passage of the seasons,
Reveals an eternal hope.
We live in an online odyssey as
Seemingly , the output of our
Lives have been transmitted by
The dictates of our computer
The third age is surely upon us;
A gesture and subscription affair,
Moderated by our credit card scores.
In this partial lockdown scenario,
Time has become a construct,
As moments begat longer moments
And swim into weeks.
Days follow sleep.
The calendar is broken.
A quiet interlude only Nature finds
Purpose and movies forward
with dignity.
Much has changed; yet little has
Changed, as the present and past
Begin to overlap.
And Planet Earth pauses to take breath.
Requiem Corona Sunset.
Future times brings time- travel.
Many years to choose a-plenty.
But please don’t go back to 2020
where it all begins to slowly unravel
We stood apart for two metres
distance.
We donned visors, gloves and
a mask.
We queued in shops to complete
our shopping tasks.
And generally got by without
assistance.
We all became rundown
with the imposed lockdown.
We stayed indoors and shopped online.
We met in virtual space; the novelty was
fine.
But,
We missed so very, very much
human contact and that touch.
So on Thursdays at eight without
a flap.
We stood at the gates and gave the
NHS a hearty clap.
joining together for a moments pause
giving thanks for such a great cause.
For carers, sharers, drivers and shop
workers who simply were the top.
because.
When the virus tapped you
on your drooping shoulder .
Did you have a persistent headache?
Did you have a dry cough ?
Then for goodness sake,
my friend, you may not live to be
much older.
