Sipping from a glass of daylight
I scooped out of the time passing by
Waiting for nothing to happen and eager for it
The sky above is alive
dancing with the clouds it carries
toying with rain that might fall in the evening
These are magic days
spent with memories of what is yet to come
held together by the moon and stars
who wait for darkness to fall
so they can paint the skies with an even greater light

I’m fully vaccinated against COVID-19! It’s been just over a year since the fear and uncertainty that came with the onset of lockdown, and looking back on it all I’m struggling to remember where the time went…

I’m one of the coco-cordinators of ‘Gawler Poets at the Pub’, a long standing monthly poetry reading event, and I love being there, both listening to the other poets, and reading my own work.

Well done on getting vaccinated! I get my first vaccine tomorrow if all goes well! Your poetry is really a blessing to hear! Thanks for the info on the mike setup. It did get some very negative reviews but your poetry sounds great.

Hope the vaccination goes well! I think I got lucky with the lack of side effects. (And the same luckiness when it comes to the mic, perhaps). Hope everything goes well for you (:

My husband and I are also now fully vaccinated. I feel I can breathe a bit easier….but still cautious.

I feel the same way! I haven’t really changed my behavior at all (still masking up and keeping my distance from others) but it is such a relief to have the vaccine. Hope you and your husband are well (:

Thank you for sharing. Both the beautiful poem and the news of your vaccination. The world needs positivity more than ever, and you have provided much in word form.
The poem was almost alive in my mind as I read it, flowing between space and this earthly realm. 😊
