Le Voyage Magnifique

Marooned

Marooned at home by quarantine,
enchanting song of family
beckons to us from up above.

We climb the stairs to the attic
and open time capsule stored there
to reconnect with decades past.

Love letters from the war long ago,
photographs of our wedding day
and Uncle Clyde's snaggle-toothed grin,
futuristic kitchen gadgets
from World Fair on our honeymoon.

These memories are the glue
that preserves our sanity
during such troublesome times.
