Filling in Time, Leonie turns her hand to Poetry
Leonie in isolation.
Our world has wound down to a very slow pace
When all we can do is remain in our place
We thought in a few weeks this all would be over
And the world could go back to being on clover
When Gladys says now this is the norm
It’s beginning to sink in we have to conform
With technology bringing us Facetime and Zoom
We can bring all our family right into the room
I am zoomed into yoga at the breaking of dawn
And my quilting instructions come in the morn
To see that my friends are quilting with zest
Inspires me onto produce my best
We long for this virus to be under control
To be back with you all will be good for our soul
At this point in time it is out of our reach
But what we really would like is to get to the beach
To walk with our friends and to swim with the fish
When the timing is right will be our first wish
With time on our hands and no one about
We look for a chat when we get to go out
It is a good chance to fit lots of things in
We’ve cleaned out some cupboards and filled up our bin
Sorted the photos and watched some good flicks
And constantly finding something to fix
It is nice to have time to sit down with a cup
And not be concerned that the time is all up
Corona has certainly forced us to stop
And we wait for instructions which come from the top
Always wash your hands is Scomo’s call and we know he just wants to protect us all
Go forward my friends with a cheerful shrug and long for the day we can all have a hug
