The Space...

Easing Restrictions, 12 June 2020

The door has opened, the light comes in,
Life has restarted, I can breathe again.

A sense of hope is in the air,
Worry and fear have disappeared.

I feel the pride; we have survived,
Yet not forgotten, many have died.

The ups and downs of everyday,
Feeling ungrounded in every way.

Self-isolating, moved into my head,
Sometimes impossible to leave the bed.

Freedom has brought more joy to the day,
Yet slightly anxious, the virus may stay.

A little more cautious, a little more free,
A little more rounded as a human being.
