I Close My Eyes

I close my eyes and hear the wind whooshing through the trees. It reminds me of the times I could listen to the seas.

It takes me on a journey to far off distant shores. To a time when we were not engaged in virulent virus wars. 

I can almost feel the golden sand snuggling between my toes. The cheery chatter of fellow travellers hugging me so close. 

I close my eyes and drink another cup of tea. Imagining it’s a margarita sipped in life once free. 

I close my eyes and feel the sun caressing my face. Imagining this feeling felt in a different place. 

I close my eyes and dream that this will be over soon. So I can watch in wondrous places, the sun the stars the moon.
