New ways

Effervescent days

Dissolved into space

Awaiting resolve

The old way erased

Hibernating humans

Watch nature

Run free

A reversal of roles

A new way to be

My eyes have been opened
New delights I now have
Am drinking my coffee
In car not a caff

yippee....

Not only my coffee
I drink in my car
I read the newspaper
(Not funny, haha)

Hillbillys is shut
My favourite chair
I look through the window
Thank god it's still there

I'm trying damn hard Ruth
To enjoys these new things
But they're sending me silly
Ring-a-ding-ding

I should take up Nigel's
Idea, hibernate
Wake me up when it's over
Not too distant date

?

PS Yours is so good Ruth.....well-thought out
