In The Midst

In the midst

In the midst of friends,

Fans,

As well as foes,

In my absence

I see many have added on

And in my work

Love they do repose

Its poetic love,

I do really suppose.

I am in the midst

Of a viral infection,

As someone has said

Glad not of my lap,

Perhaps throat too,

It’s only some nasty guy

Playing foul

With my laptop

My only love so true

I have observed

During my brief break

Many hearts make

Many more do break,

But those who love sincerely

Never part

So be by guest tonight

Once again

As a new life

Does now start
