I lie in my bed alone and my heart directs my thoughts to you.
It has been five days of this self imposed isolation and it is getting to me.
Suddenly everything that had meaning has unravelled.

I lie here and wonder how things will ever return to normal.
They say do not panic yet all I hear is a frenzy of mass hysteria.
The light I see at the end of the tunnel is the moment I will get to see you again.

It keeps me smiling inwardly as my heart cries for the sense of helplessness that has overcome us all.
Courage has cruelly abandoned us.
Our fragility has been laid bare before our eyes.
All we can do is hope, pray and wait.
