Leaves of Uncertainty

Leaves of uncertainty have covered the earth fallen from trees of anxiety and dread a path, once as clear as crystal blue water clouded by ponderous tears in its stead Silence of laughter has deafened the world stilled by the smallest of creatures we know the crashing of cymbals in life’s symphony has summoned us all to a new kind of show Yet, for this fearsome of unwelcome visits we will find sunshine on beaches to come but we must fancy the sun from our windows to save for us all and not just for some

an excellent message Mike and if we all work together and self isolate in time we will be able to go out on the beaches and enjoy the sunshine. Our island is basically on lock down and only residents can travel here, then have to isolate for 14 days. we now have 23 cases non requiring medical attention. stay safe and well My friend:-) hugs Jan xx
