David Smith Poet Light Verse

You Do Not Have To Lock Down Your Mind

A physical lock down,
Should not cause a breakdown,
If you slow your thoughts down, 
And send your mind downtown,
Or to another town,
Maybe even another country to set it down.

I would recommend that you are back by tea time,
Before it is dark time,
As now is not the time,
For your mind to get lost in a dark time,
But a time, 
To make light of time,
So we can all have a good time,
Even in this bad time, 
When we don't know if it will soon be our time,
To leave this time.

Jenish Somadas March 30, 2020 at 9:39 AM Wonderful poem..I like the positive vibe and caution you tried to convey... Great write David.. David Smith March 30, 2020 at 4:01 PM Can't thank you enough. I try to balance my writing so as not to upset people who are very worried and stressed. The will to live is critical I am sure for those infected and even for those who are not. My thoughts with you and your family. Regards David in NZ
