Last minute trip
Clandestine visit
to a seaside town
About to shut down
Buzzing with life
For one last hurrah
Young fun
Drinking and laughing
Like their life is just starting
In and outside the bars
Train back to the city
Quiet and empty
With lonely travellers
People like me
Staring out the window
Heading for planes
To get away
Or rushing back to town
Before the world
Starts to shut down
We’re on the edge
Staring a precipice
We’re facing danger
Looking at the start of this
Disconnected strangers
Waiting for the fog to lift
Trying to find some safety
Waiting for a cure
Hoping for this
all to shift
Bright lights and glass
Speeding so fast
Empty station
So ghostly and sad
A blank slate
left alone to wait
Closed shops
And locked cafes
Everything on pause
Waiting to re-awake
A shift of gear
Change is in the air
Is it safe to care?
Feels like the end of the world
Or the beginning of a new one?
As we count the cost
Of the life we’ve lost
While hoping that
Something good is won
We’re still here, not done
