"Life Suspended"

"Life Suspended"

Greg Budig 2022

Solitude surrounded us. 

Isolation became part of 

our new existence. 

We were told to 

"Stay safe" 

and 

"Be well."

Becoming invalids 

of circumstances.

We hid inside split level bunkers

waiting for the news of 

the world. Sick of 

hearing about 

"The new 

normal".

We grew tired of 

adapting. Of living without.

 Of losing ourselves. I could not 

return to what life once was. 

That life had died and so did I. 

I struggle each day to 

find my way back

from living in a 

life suspended.

The End.
