When a Door closes......

So we're now in isolation
and forbidden to go near
all those places we once went to
or those loved-ones we hold dear.....

Our Homes are now our sanctuary
from the daily-dose of gloom
ignoring,if we so desire
those people-peddling-doom.....

We can sit-out in the garden
hear the Birdsong,feel the Sun
or venture outdoors briefly
for a cycle,stroll or run.....

So now's the time to read that book
write a letter,'phone a friend
reflect and count your blessings
p'raps make do and mend.....

Perhaps there's little money
well,that's certainly a hitch
but watch your healthy happy kids
and say that you're not Rich.....

This time may not be wasted
'though for some it's just a chore
but if you use imagination
it might open up a Door.....

When I was at junior School,crossing the road,where we lived at least,was fairly simple and fairly safe as you could here a Car or Bus or Lorry coming along the road long before it ever got to you. That's how it has become now to some extent with the road where we are suddenly going from having thousands of vehicles pass by daily to falling eerily quiet such that,even though Cars are more silent than they used to be,you can now hear them approaching way before you see them. In this new found silence we can hear Bird-Song that used to be drowned out by the traffic noise,hear the Frogs in the Pond croak and splash,hear children playing in a garden several Houses away,hear a Lawn-Mower somewhere and Alright Now by Free playing on someone's Radio who knows where. Our local Town is empty of people,almost all shops and businesses are shut and every day seems like a Sunday. Most of us now have more time on our hands than ever before and most people aren't making any money at t...

Coronavirus...... Apparently some 'experts' initially predicted a million deaths in the UK but that figure has now been lowered with an expert Professor  updating that to some 20,000 and more recently to 5,700.Also he says that two thirds of those who die in the next few months,supposedly of Coronavirus,would have died anyway of something else. Further,it appears that if someone dies under the care of Medical professionals and if said person has Coronavirus at time of Death,then that is being listed as  the cause of death when it may or may not be the case. So time will tell eventually whether the restrictions imposed on people's lives and the economic impact that will go on far longer have been absolutely necessary or whether we've all been living through a real life episode of Spooks......
