Hello again old outside world - changed forever world
Goodbye unchanging, house locked inside routines
Hello bike riding, kite flying, sunshine swimming
Goodbye book reading curled up sun-soaked window seating
Hello takeaway Thai - fast food taste temptress
Goodbye homemade baking sweetness expanding waistline
Hello grandchild; toy floor explosion and smiling hugs
Goodbye everyday closeness with my wonderful wife.

Starting Thoughts: A poem in the form of Hello Goodbye for processing emotions around a theme. In this case the Covid 19 Lockdown release, from shut in to freedom?
