TINY APOSTLE

Tonight lights crave the outdoors  jostle

And will it  be for a long time so

The deya light tiny apostle

Abandoning the welcoming night spectacle

Though the lights crave outdoors jostle

Tonight the protocols says no

No to crowding and the years gone hustle

Now that masks are worn atop smiles

That crowds cease to mingle and to bustle

Now that wisdom seldom goes for show

Ah but the lights crave the outdoors  jostle

    I think we will learn to celebrate with ourselves... but he have to seek company in nature.
