Togetherness in Isolation
Isolation could slide into a deafening-silence loneliness,
Suppression of joy needing a breath of a gentle breeze,
Or it could fashion new moments with love and
Laughter even with a faint line of essential distance.
Adapting to this unique state of ‘togetherness’
Takes time like slow healing of energy – it’s not the
Ideal means of making postcard memories, but who needs
Ordinary? For the both of us in these circumstances, there is
Nothing like being comfort and company while isolating together!

Wonderful poem 👌❤
Thanks so much, Suma! 🩷🌷
My pleasure 🥰
A lovely poem, I’m glad you are happy together
Thanks, Robbie. Usually when one of us is sick, the other gets it. So it’s just as well, so we can be healthy together once this is over. It’s nice to have company while home though. 🙂
Yes, very nice 😊
How lovely that you’ve found sometime positive and comforting in isolating together.
Well, I can imagine how lonely isolation can be, Sadje. It’s a bummer that we’re both sick because one of us can’t help the other. But we’re getting through it and hopefully we’ll feel better this week. 🩷
It is very lonely. Hope you both feel better soon
Thanks so much, Sadje. Take care too. xo
You’re welcome ❤️
I am glad your muse keeps you humored and never tires! Togetherness in all kinds of situation is a blessing! 😊
That’s the good thing about my muse. She tries to make light of a difficult situation. Thanks so much, Balroop! 🩷
I forgot to tell you that I’m rereading your lovely book, slowly. And I’ll do a post later in the month when I’m feeling much better.
Thank you Lauren. Get well soon.
Splendid and excellent poem, Lauren. COVID has again taken over. Take care and stay safe. Here in India there is dengue fever like mad.
Thanks so much, Kamal, and I hope you dodge that fever. It’s so hard when a disease is so infectious. Stay safe too my friend. xoxo
Always welcome dear Lauren. Yes the disease is horrible and infectious too. We all are fine and safe dear. Lots of love and blessings ❤️

Thanks so much for your lovely and thoughtful comment, Thattamma. Your words are poetic and greatly appreciated. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead too. Hugs xoxo
Thank you so much for this lovely reply message 🌹🙏✍️💕
All The Best Wishes dear friend 👏💝
What a beautiful poem to reflect your strength during your recovery Lauren! Stay well my friend. 🤗🙏🏼😊
Thanks so much, Kym. Once the headache lightened up, I was able to write and read again. When I can’t do either of those, it seems the world has ended. Not really, but it’s tough. Anyway, thank you, my friend. Wishing you a great week ahead. ❤️🤗
I can empathize with you Lauren. But I am so glad you are on the mend my friend. 😊💖🤗 Take care of yourself…no relapses allowed! 😂😜🤣 Got it? 👍🏼
Haha, got it, Kym! Thank you! ❤️🩷🤗🌻💐
🥰💖😘🥂😎
That last line is the perfect continuation to the P O S I T I V E that preceded! 😉
Love and many hugs your way! xoxoxoxoxo
Thanks so much, Marina. It’s amazing how we dodged it all this time too until now. It’s been mild which is good, but the fatigue is awful. Anyway, it will pass, and hopefully this week, we’ll feel a bigger change for the better. Thanks for the love and hugs and more coming your way. Stay well, my friend. xoxoxoxoxo
Here’s to that change and regaining your strength! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
You’ve definitely found the silver lining to this unfortunate time of illness, Lauren. Hope you both are getting better daily.
Thanks so much, Steve. It’s one of those state of affairs where things could always be worse. Thankfully, not, but the silver lining is always there if only a slight glimmer. 🙂 Thanks for your wishes too. Take care…
Beautiful. Together isolation can be pretty nice!
Thanks, Denise. It’s better to have each other than to be alone. Then we’ll get better together too and hopefully very soon. 🙂 ❤️
❤️
Simply wonderful!
Thanks very much, Luisa! 💖
Making the best of what could be a bad situation.
That’s it, John. It could be worse and we’re glad it’s not, even though the healing is s-l-o-w. 🙂
🤗
A really great poem. Even though life is tough sometimes it’s nice to have someone by our side. It’s nice you have someone while you’re sick to go through it all with.
Thanks for your wonderful comment, Pooja. Once the headache dulled a little, I was able to write, albeit covid poems. 🙂 But it’s something, and finding the silver lining is always good because it’s always there. It might be faded or slight, but it’s always there to lift spirits. So I’m grateful to have my hubby at home. We’ll get better together. 🙂 Thanks again! xo
It’s still a great start. Definitely better than nothing and show that you’re improving. I’m sure you’ll both get better very soon 🙂
I like your attitude!
I’m glad you do, Liz! It’s not always easy, but it does help. 🙂
🙂
Wonderful, Lauren!
That always makes life easier! Beautiful poem.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Belladonna! 🩷
You’re welcome Lauren!
A beautiful poem, Lauren. And so right on for people who love each other and are comfortable with each other’s company. I also think that some people handle isolation much better than others. I’ve always appreciated and even needed time alone. –Curt
Thanks, Curt. I enjoy alone time too, but we’ve been isolating with covid since 9/3, so together has been nice. We hope to test negative tonight, but we’re still feeling symptomatic. Slightly better, but it’s a slow process and the first time for us getting covid. Sigh. Glad you had a good time at Burning Man.
Ouch. I didn’t realize your isolation was in the present. We had our bout after we came home from our trip on the Rhine last year. Good luck on testing negative!
Thanks, Curt, still positive today, the 10th day after symptoms began. Ugh! Still fatigued and congested too. We’re both healthy otherwise, but it’s hanging on. Patience. 🙂 Glad you got through it.
We lucked out, Lauren, and both had mild cases. We are going to get the next booster as soon as we make it back to Virginia and before we take off to Africa.
That’s good, Curt. We finally tested negative, but the mild cold symptoms are still lingering. We plan to get the next booster too. Anyway, stay well! 🙂
So very romantic! ❤
Thanks, Carol! The romance is nil while we still isolate with covid, still positive on the 10th day, but the love will never fade. 😍
Oh but romance can be simply in the way one smiles to another! ❤
So true, Carol! 🥰🩷
Cleverly constructed
Thanks, Ian! I appreciate your kind words.
You are so good at that Lauren, finding the inspiration and sharing it!
I had a tough experience of isolation, as I was often alone. But I guess it’s different when you are 2 to live through this moment.
Looks like you too found your balance through this special time.
Hope this will be over soon and that you’ll find your energy back.
In the meantime, rest and leep smiling ❤❤
Thanks for your compassionate words, Marie. I’m sorry you had a tough time in isolation, but I know others have. If I didn’t have my hubby, the poem would read differently. Today is the 10th day of symptoms and we’re still positive. Sigh. Oh well, it’s out of our control, so we just have to continue to rest like you said and get better albeit so slowly. Stay well, dear friend. xoxoxo
