Well said, my friend!

Thank you, Marty.  

Even an isolated voice crying out can be heard ...

While it's true people are social animals, some have always been more comfortable being mostly apart.  I think I'm one of those, accumulating a few good and true friends, but not diving into the mainstream...still, it's a different thing when you can't due to circumstances beyond your control.
I enjoy going out to eat with a friend or two, or seeing movies at times, but now we're denied those options, I find I want them more than I had before....
Things will return to some state of normalcy in time, but until then, at least our beloved G-Man has his woods for consolation--I envy him that solace.

Hugs, my dear.

Though this voices pain and frustration, this poem is marvelous. I can feel both the bursting forth of spring and the bitter hurts still to mend.

Thanks, Parker. Today is another day, and it's beautiful.

Thanks, dugh. Feels good to yell into the wind and remind yourself you're alive.

Thanks, buddy. I just miss my kids and grandkids, and my woods truly are my solace.  

We all have to get through this any way we can. A bad day can always be followed by a better one. That's something to hang on to.

Hey, northie! Yes, we do. On the worst days, I look to tomorrow.   Thanks.  

Whether you rage in prose or literally as you’ve described,  it your right and I hope you do so.  It’s when we keep in the toxic feelings that they turn on us.

You have such a gift for making your point resonate in the most poignant chords.  Thank you for sharing it, Beautiful Man.

You're sweet, my friend, to say such nice things.   It's much like going through stages of grief, dealing with these times we are living in.

I am usually quite content to be at home.  I find Covid has changed that some. I occasionally feel housebound. I think it's because before I could leave when I wanted. I guess I can still leave, but the things I would leave for are not available: movies, theater, dinner out. Your poem speaks to me. I envy you woods that are available to you. Thanks.

My little farm is a real blessing... my haven and a balm for despair. I feel exactly as you do. I am usually content to stay at home, but now that I can't go out for simple pleasures, it makes me want to scream. I really miss being able to hug my kids and grandkids, but I also understand the need to stay safe... for all of us. Thanks, Jeff... G.
