Viv lives in Edinburgh and works for West Lothian Council. This is her poem.
Disarm the threat and remain still
Safe guard with sterile thoughtfulness
Frontline protectors devoted to care
Gratitude on high alert
Souls taken but not forgotten
Sadness at memories not formed
Missing family, friends, but not all
Selected relationships treasured
Give thanks to technology
IT gurus keep us at work
And preserves us in life’s afar
Where humor and fears are shared
Time reframed into new activity
Commuting hours into healthy living
Declutter of space and mind
Resurrected projects
New talents explored
Liberation with learning
Nature joys in less polluted times
Stunning sunrises and sunsets
Starlight is star bright
Morning choruses of visiting birds
Thrilled with seasonal delights
New norms will prevail
Anxieties exist
But we will adapt and survive
For wonderment and science exists
