Come with me down to the sea
Through dunes’ eternal green
Come share with me this one last dream
Let us be as once we were
Not torn apart by one cruel year
Let’s join with the ebbing waves
And let them scour us clean
To return again, you with me

A beautiful verse! I really like the picture, too; I always like that inviting sense of “leading into the horizon.

Nice one. That path to the sea looks serene and inviting and universal enough to remind me of such spots here in parts of Florida.

Some things do not change no matter where found. I am friendly on Twitter with a guy from Norfolk, Virginia. He lives on the bay, all reed beds and marshes… looks just like Norfolk, England

I had this nagging suspicious I hadn’t left a comment… So I had to come back!
A cruel year indeed. And it ain’t over, is it?
I long for the freedom of being able to visit friends and lovers once again…

I long for public toilets to be open, and pubs so I can get a coffee mid-walk. And able to go see my Dad (yes, he’s recovered, tough old stick). And… all sorts of things. Maybe get my eye op.

Oh gosh, yes. Simple things. You can’t see your dad? Even with masks, et al? So glad he did recover. He is a tough one!
Sigh. I think we are all so done with this,..

I was granted special permission to see him before Xmas. We sat either side of a perspex screen AND STILL HAD to wear masks

My sister has had to get really heavy with them to be allowed to visit and help him with his hearing problems. The entire complex is quarantined cos of Covid… staff down with it, other residents. Not a good situation. And he is alone and confused

Poor fellow… This damn Covid is wreaking such havoc. A friend of mine just let us know that she has been quiet because she caught it and it was rather nasty – not enough to land in the hospital but enough to visit twice.

A friend of mine had it very early (he’s only just told me), said he felt the worst ever. He’s lost family to it too

I’m thinking we won’t see the end of this virus for years, if ever. We’ll probably have a vaccine but I’m not sure I’ll get one. 70 years is ok by me. 🙂 Had enough.

You are so negative Jen. So glad my father doesn’t think like you. He was tested positive for covid. And no, he hadn’t had the vaccine

I’m one of the most positive people I know. Have we seen the end of The Flu? The common cold? This virus keeps mutating and getting stronger. Yet people keep thinking it will go away without affecting them and protesting the use of masks and gatherings.
The fight to get the vaccine by individuals has just begun.
I’ve had a wonderful, experienced filled life. I wouldn’t change any of it even if I could.
What I don’t need is anyone telling me I’m negative.
Thanks so much for your encouragement “My Friend”.

Inspired in spirit, more than the actual picture, I see. And, yes, the year has been miserable. I can remember when we went into the first lockdown, and people were talking about what a great time they’d have at their favorite restaurant when COVID-19 was gone. A year marked at its beginning with a friend committing suicide, and then your father dying at the other end.
I’ve had bad years before. I’ve had good years before. So far as I can tell, I’ve been more strongly marked by the good years than the bad ones. As long as I can say that, I’ll be happy to go on to the next.

I run up the state-by-state death toll here in the U.S. about every week. It’s depressing. We were patting ourselves on the back when the toll was around 60,000. Now it’s closing in on 460,000.
And, oh, I track the U.K. as a whole, too, and compare it to other nations in Europe. Sigh. It could be worse; you could be Italy.

Italy was bad from the start. It’s still not as bad as the plague Sigh, wryly,
