The Sun Shines Warm On Lonely Streets

The sun shines warm on lonely streets above a pale blue water-colour sky. Clear water sings across the weir and in the clear air, birds still fly. Across the river in the school no children play nor shout nor cry but nature greens her trees and blooms her flowers without a thought that we should spy a life that, thus through seasons all continuing, cares not if we deserve to live or die.

Hi Darlene - life has retreated behind the facades in a difficult time. Stay safe

It's nature...we all live and die...here today forgotten tomorrow...Yet the sun will shine in all its glory, and birds will sing their songs...So should we...Live it...

I can't help feeling that nature is gradually accelerating her efforts to be rid of the parasite that is taking over her planet.

I have a plant I talk to. It seems to like that. I think it would miss me if I expired. My cat on the other hand, could go either way. Have a great day my friend.
