Like Two Wee Kids

A breakaway
To share with friends
Have been indoors
For weeks on end
Cautiously 
emerging
From total isolation
Wiping sleep
from tired eyes
look forward 
to a joyous celebration
               ~
When Corvid struck
most every  Nation
No more outings
No more friends
Life for me was home alone
a tortoise fast asleep
in hibernation
               ~
Now with my mask
And handy gel
I’m so excited
Can’t you tell
For today
I’m off to Devon
And I’m in seventh heaven
I am sharing a break
With my bestie ~ my mate
Both her and I 
are soaring high
No hugs just yet 
Two metres must be kept
Sending out our virtual hugs 
that come straight from our heart

Laughing ~ talking ~ catching up
    like two wee kids 
      just wishing it would start…

James Long Date: 7/14/2020 2:04:00 PM You are a very spiritual, and beautifully constructed person just as you (H)onestly, and (O)pen-mindedly, and ever-(W)illfuly apply yourself towards any efforts that you prescribe for yourself to follow, that all work for another, all-included, for yourself and all life, as well as, for our, "Creator!" "Because, when you believe in something; this all can be anything that consistently works for you individually ("Especially when and if, and just exactly wherever we all can possibly be helpful to another, special, something or someone who are in essence, just like ourselves each individually, and ever-vitally") you; can apply yourself towards this effort with all of your heart and mind, and body; spiritedly, and ever-soulfully as well as emotionally, systematically, and ritualistically." So goes the "Religion" "Universal, a big chunk of truth, not too hard to swallow, not unless, this effort is not followed!" Login to Reply Ann Gilmour Date: 7/14/2020 5:07:00 PM Thank you James.
