Signs of the Times

The sky is clear the air bracing Yet streets are empty social distance spacing Fear grips our hearts keeps loved ones apart A deluge of dark news tightens the screws But wait: What is this I heard some good news Dare I repeat it ~ If they let me, I would

Gershon, I've patiently waited to hear the new phrase for separation uttered in a poem. Are we bracing for an impact that we can't avoid? And will the air bags deploy? -Richard

My wife took the bus to work this morning... said it was just about empty. Such are the times we live in. Stay safe my friend.

It has become a cruel waiting game Gershon. I like the imagery of the empty streets. Very well expressed. I tried to write something but nothing came to me. Happy St. Patrick's Day my friend. xxoo
