Do you remember too? The sun is out and shining, not a drop of rain in sight children are outside playing flying different colored kites couples holding hands while walking down the street, whispering quietly to each other smiling, waiting for the night flowers are blooming everywhere spreading color across the globe just like the beautiful rainbows after a springtime thunderstorm, Friends are making plans for destinations unknown, filled with alcohol, white-sanded beaches, wearing nothing more than smiles dancing underneath the stars knowing what love is in my heart yet having nobody to love or hold memories flowing from the past back when I was living in a much different world looking out the window to an emptiness that I now see with streets devoid of cars or people cruising down the streets how long has it been since the sickness came to be the one called the Coronavirus, or COVID ineteen was it nature who evolved it causing man's new fate or was man playing God again unleashi...
