Locked down!
Faces etched with frowns -
Our world shrinks
To the sum of our homes,
But minds free to roam.
Where to go?
World framed by a window pane
Room to room - couch to bed
But darker journeys in my head!
Imagination sets sail
Tossed in a sea of pain
Of loss, of fear, of those held dear,
Passing islands of despair
To see the anxiety locked in there.
What to do?
Read and write
An hour on the bike?
Bake and rake
An hour to jump and shake?
A drink - a brew
Binge watch a movie or two?
Weep and cry
For those who die?
Breathe in - breathe out
Bring that vessel about!
For darkness find light
For pain find comfort
For despair find hope
For anxiety find serenity
Captain your mind to navigate your destiny!
