Scarlet dreams in white silence course through my veins in autumn contemplation. Will it ever be the same? Two years of you and me in our haven of unreality. Us against the virulent, vicious world. And then through the cracks of our front door, a sliver of light of tomorrows whispered, beckoned, lured, you and me to walk outside. You looked right. I looked left.

You captured the fear and the apprehension of the pandemic! And now we emerge as changed – perhaps not as butterflies but we still fly.
