Summer Is Here - Covid Be Gone

Summer Is Here

 

Covid be gone

summer is here

I've more important

things to do

and now, no fear

 

just listen

hear the winds howl,

gust and blow

hot air above one hundred

sweltering and sultry beyond words

 

Covid be gone

it's too beautiful to be pallid

the waves crash

whitecaps on an evergreen sea

so just leave me be

 

palm trees wave

but never sway

their trunks stand tall,

even in a squall

or hurricane come this fall

 

flowers are bright

as the bee's light

hear the bird song

the frogs' croak

nature, so full of hope

 

Covid be gone

it's time you departed

for regions unknown

health and happiness

God's promise, our own.

I really, really hope that Covid leaves your building. Permanently and soon.

It is fading but still keeps mutating. Get outdoors in the fresh air to escape it!

COVID just keeps going - on and on! I hope you are feeling well enough to get some sun.

Yes, Covid be gone...governments and many people would like to believe it's fading, but no, here in Australia we're having the coldest winter and people are dropping like flies with the new variants of Covid, the flu, and RSV. So far have managed to avoid Covid, but it's probably just a matter of time. As Alex said, get outside. By the beach is a healthy place to avoid Covid or in your case, to recuperate. I hope both you and hubs are over the worst. Love you.
