Trapped,
dreaming,
BROODING OVER

something lost,
something that hurt,
perhaps some sullen word
spoken by someone when the day was going dark.
A troublesome memory.
It made no sense,
and now a thing of the past.
The sun that throws its light
on the tense shoulder
is sliding away .
An amateurish gesture
made by someone
to bring a smile,
had also
slipped
out of the grip.
A broken pitcher
never could the pieces hold
the water the pitcher was meant to hold.

Hi Sushama. Just very worried really.

    Are you in UK? Things are full of anxiety and long uncertainty here. There is a nationwide lockdown. We are all under house-arrest.
    Do take care. Times are hard everywhere. But we we live and struggle in the hope that this too shall pass.
      Yes, in NE UK. Lockdown here too: it's worse near London (which I visit regularly). I work in a dementia care home - very high risk environment. Also, I'm main carer for my parents - one of whom is in the highest risk category!
      Stressed!!
        I understand. A word or two from your Indian friend... stay calm and centered. God is testing humanity
        Thanks Sushama. Stay safe and well yourself.
          Yes; thanks Tony.
          I have started coming here more often now to de-stress
            Really important to have distractions. I'm reading a lot, listening to music. Trying to exercise a little.
              Keep it up. Smile 🙂 ☕
