LOCKDOWN BLUES

Wind-blown trees are a-swaying,

So, it’s no time to go out straying.

But when all I do at home is stay,

Today will be just like yesterday.

Lonely here in my quiet cabin,

There is not even a dropped pin.

I can no longer be happy or sad,

Because I think I’m already mad!

Safety is merely a place to hide.

But it’s full of emptiness inside.

While others brave the storm,

I sit here cursing the new norm.
