Breathe Out Not In

this dark cloud looms in the air
we do not see its blind stare
yet we feel the fear it breathes
as we watch each breath we share

- A picture of how the world is today, Sandra ... all use plastic gloves and all smells liquor ... we can't share the same air ... or a kiss ... - You have to be especially careful, my friend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I am trying... my son still works with public and he is sick but not sick enough to be tested...I am crazy with cleaning things and my hands are raw from all the cleaning and products I am using...I only go out to the store when I need to...I am pretty stocked for several days... things are harder to find now but some stores are opening the first hour of the day to seniors or people that are immunocompromised like me...so that will make me feel a little better... hugs
