A Tanka and a Haiku dealing with emotions about not seeing your parents in four months since before the virus started

The night before your first journey in almost four months to your parents before the virus started (A Tanka) 

Suffocated in worry
Your first journey in
Almost four months hangs
In your dreams the night before
Crossmarking warnings in fear.

**

Reflections on the way to visit your parents for the first time after nearly four months after not seeing them since before the virus started (A Haiku)

Tied in excitement
The nearer you get to them
Almost makes you cry.

Thanks Nigel, i do speak to them regular but still a difference seeing them. They were fine.

Thanks Nicola. Both of the above was just me worrying really. They were fine.

Glad you liked Don. They were a little bit more naked or honest than i would perhaps share but we are living in strange times.

Thanks Shifa Maqba also for the like. Means a lot

Parents live
inside your soul
when not seeing them
dreams become your nightmare.
