“We build too many walls and not enough bridges” … Isaac Newton
Unfinished (a Haiku)
The bridges are burnt
Ancient connections lost
Unfinished missions

Life is not always tidy, allowing us to tie up loose ends. Love the Isaac Newton quote!
Take care, Ivor! ❤

More bridges to cross but hopefully none in need of mending.
Sorry about your lockdown, thankfully they are usually short in length over there.
Have you had your first vaccination yet?
I can’t help wondering how many more lockdowns are to come – for all of us; this virus isn’t going anywhere.

A very good Haiku Ivor. Yes, burning our bridges ususally does leave unfinished business behind! Well done.
