There is no lifting of natures lockdown
Hello!
I'm just a tired old man
on a mission
to reach a grassy knoll
before the sunsets.
I'm confident that
I shall get there comfortably.
The echo of the church bells
is guiding me.
There I will find
a row of poplars
atop a sunlight rounded hill.
Upon arriving I shall
remove my shoes.
And I shall lay me down
at the base of
the majestic ladies.
The swaying
elegant ladies will sing
enchanting lullabies to me
as I see my last sunset.
Soon I will be
confined by natures lockdown.
A fitting end for a weary old man.
There is no
lifting of this lockdown.
No one has returned
from it
to tell tales.
