Rumination launching
a dream shivers
with anxiety screened
in isolation he quivers
silently watching
the vacuity linger
as widespread fear
grows palpably grimmer.

Steely gloom
a heavy sight
floating in
calm of light.

The river sings
its ancestral song
with a flirtatious sparkle
as it bubbles along
in a dance with sunshine
and shadows in tune
I avidly eavesdrop
on this secret commune.

The realisation
that self-isolation
is the only solution
for the good of the nation
is a fearful notion
for the population
to accept this proposition
but a crucial stipulation
to control the infection.

Bones of memory
buried in the soul
knots of wisdom
the root of life’s goals
unearthed past skeletons
besieging our path
‘til their hold is released
from a future we cast.

A monumental stand
the spilling majesty
of sequoias well rooted
despite climate travesty
their upright posture
defending Mother Earth
with a mighty stronghold
of impenetrable girth.
