After dinner thoughts

 Exciting times seeing friends 
For the first time after being shot
... against Covid-19 - agreeing
That the pandemic is not the worst
That could happen if you sailed
Through the Strait of Messina
unscathed-untouched-healthy
With your friends and family
Your boat ride only to end surely
When you expired and drifted away
But this feeling of chatting freely
Without fear of dying from air particles 
Gave in to some weird thoughts
Of true freedom in body or mind
A spirit of je ne sais quoi initially 
Evolving into a joyful patter
Above all or nothing important 
Sense of true belonging though
We are all on the same journey 
But how we rock the boat is
In many ways a question of luck
Time era - genes and maybe
The nurture  which slipped 
Just a tad during this period 
Without a vaccine or hope thereof.
