Once More

Once more.

Out of our houses

Onto the street

Into cafes bars and shops

Something has passed

Something lost

Something found

The introspection 

Unbearable

Ubiquitous 

Unavoidable 

The tasks we set ourselves

To occupy our time

The books we read

The games we played

The sunrises and sets

Seen

To remind us that 

Awe and wonder

Still exist

We have come out once more

To the rattle of trams

To the smiles of others

Something has passed

Something lost

Something found

We know

We will run to ground 

Again

Have to shut our doors

And watch the viral shadow 

Loom 

Large

Luminous 

Something has passed

Something lost

Something found

The plans we made

The people we miss

The space beneath our feet

Something has passed

Something lost

Something found.
