Rewind

Covid19

Rewind

Loving the rewind,
Going back to halcyon days.
Simpler life, no strife,
Quiet becoming the new noise.

Baking, making buns, 
Pastries, cakes.
Once convenient food,
Now is all about things we make.

Roads & air,
Cleaner, less congested.
Skies the bluest of cobalt,
Rivers, lakes cystal clear.

The world is repairing,
Daring to hope we’ll pause...
Think, adjust, & weave our new
into the old.

Thank you so much, Being Me. I have enjoyed the slower pace also. More so, the cleaner air & time for the wonderful planet to repair x
