  1. twas the night before quarantine and
    all through the town,
    not a restaurant was open,
    not a school-bus was found.

    hand sanitizers were placed by
    all doorposts with care,
    in hopes that Corona would
    never come there.

    the children were swinging from
    the crystal chandeliers, and
    the stir-crazy babies were
    almost in tears.

    with everyone in health masks and
    live updates on their screens,
    we hunkered down and
    waited for COVID-19.

    for into our lives with
    a sneeze and a cough
    came a global pandemic and
    a crash of the stocks.

    away to the grocery
    we all flew like a flash, and
    bought all the toilet paper
    for our personal stash.

    as the moon slowly rose on
    our fates and our fears,
    what to my wandering mind
    should appear?

    in the absence of busyness
    a new life taking form: in
    the stillness of solitude, in
    the silence of the storm.

    in the magic of together and
    home-bound company,
    rediscovering connection in
    our family.

    so with the pup in her kennel and
    the children in their beds,
    new visions of adventures
    now danced in my head!

    the checklists could wait and
    the bank accounts would be fine, for
    we had been given the most
    sacred gift of time.

    so I gathered the markers and
    crayons and paints,
    I collected the nerf guns and
    assembled board games.

    with a wink and a smile I
    moved on to schoolwork:
    math facts and science and
    vocabulary words.

    I laughed as I thought it,
    in spite of myself,
    “what if quarantine can heal our
    emotional health?”

    if the birds are still singing and
    if the flowers still bloom,
    surely the sunshine can
    overcome our gloom.

    if we set aside fear and
    choose kindness instead,
    maybe we’ll all begin to realize
    we have nothing to dread.

    I tucked back into bed and
    smiled up at the moon, for
    a peace had replaced the
    impending doom.

    so take heart and take hope
    through this curious plight, and
    “happy quarantine to all”
    until we’re allowed to
    reunite.
