Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Dreams of Yesteryear

vaguely remembered
the span when life was normal
cherished memories of last year
of freedom we took for granted~

a lifetime now behind us
shipwrecked in this pandemic sea
time at an unbearable standstill
having us float idle in angst
helpless as driftwood
whilst many of us drown
in our bygone memories

Ann Gilmour April 23, 2020 at 12:16 AM 'shipwrecked in this pandemic sea' wow, your words say it all Line, and even though I try, I am finding it hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but when it does come it will make me cherish each and every moment. Wishing you both peace and love for when our freedom returns... Line Gauthier April 23, 2020 at 12:33 AM We're all in this together, Ann. We can get through it.
