You Are A Part Of My Most Beautiful Days (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

You are a part of my most beautiful days in the past
and I think of you where I see the sun gleam,
while slowly it rises over the far eastern horizon
and locked-down you and I are in the present
with a deadly virus as the only reason
and scientists hold themselves very clever
while China cannot get out of a predicament
but daily you are in all of my prayers,
where we both live in a broken country,
where we loose close contact with each other
and our days do run out mortally just as sand,
the government turns our lives upside-down
while humanity waits on another side
and I swear at night I can hear your voice calling me.
