slowly wake up to this Covid world

and to our, still, sheltered-in place

to our tempo, our vibe, our pace

social distancing, but still kissy face-to-face

with or without a mask

still rockin’ to coffee to wake us

when the rest of the world can wait

when we would rather rock the whole day

let the world go by

just the two of us always looking up when we are not looking at each other

enjoying each other’s company in this long stretch of embrace

on a continuing joyful pandemic date

still learning and discovering new things about each other

while waiting only upon God’s calendar and fate.
