At Risk

Air feels like thick liquid, slowing the passing time

foreboding in the waters, something looming in the depths

like a shark you can’t see but you know he is circling

ready and primed

he can taste the fear increase

and he is ready to feast

Air full of static, a suspenseful chill

calm before the storm, this time it’s not a drill

just waiting,

waiting, fretting, debating

waiting, bunkered within

the news you fear

Death sits near

at risk

the disease

unease

virus released

we fall to our knees

give us peace

At risk

the message blinks in red

at risk, warning signs go unread

at risk, the noise in my head drumming, thumping

am I missing something?

at risk the signs say

should I be so blasé?

News from another land

disband

Apocalypse is what they are calling it

at risk, end of days and I am worried I admit

send in the clowns

Boris will fix this now (for his pals)

Isolate

it's like my life has been leading to this

agoraphobic tendencies, a chance to reminisce

isolate, locked down

cough, I’m feeling rundown

at risk

am I missing something?

this warning sounds alarming

should I be so calm, when I am in the firing line

and the world is heading directly into the storm

blind from lightning's electric signs

Slow motion nightmare

time crawling by, how do you prepare

for a fight you can’t see

at risk, not ready

should I be more scared

as the creature creeps closer, will I be spared

not scared of the unknown, have walked that path before

but terrified of never seeing you again, that thought hurts so much more

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love to all of you

Stay safe during these difficult times,

isolate if you can, it will help in the long run.

Spread the love, be the light in the dark.

Kyle.
