Your body language,
Speaks to me,
in ways,
I yearn to understand.

At a time like this

Make someone's
Prayer
A reality

Give. Time. Food. An ear. Help out.

you have to choose
its either us or her
I chose them
subliminally I chose her too

stay safe.

a little more time ,
that's all we needed.

a little warm hug,
to feel safe at home.

I am afraid. covid 19/lockdown
