Someday Soon

Close my eyes and think of whimsy
reasons not to, seem so flimsy

tired of all this same old news
I want more rhythm, no more blues

this oh so endless reverberation
about quarantine and isolation

so I'd rather be inside my head
until this all comes to an end

where I can see the better times
and forget the recent days gone by

think summer drinks on patios
and campfire laughter up in smoke

high fives, hugs and whispers near
seeing someone grinning ear to ear

passions, and ideas collided
instead of being so divided

wedding dances, bouquets tossed
gathering to mourn the ones we lost

being able to meet the new ones born
birthdays, milestones, so much more

if you need me that is where I'll be
behind my eyelids, dreaming dreams

and when the world comes off pause
and the negativity withdraws
I'll open them up and finally see
the way it is supposed to be.

I feel the same way. Seems like normalcy has been on pause for a long time, ready to break free! Take care and God bless!
