As the Sun Sets

As the sun sets,
so too does my desire
To get up
To do anything

It's like the key
to my toolbox
fell into deep murky water
and is buried at the bottom

I have so many
powerful tools
but they all feel
impossible to reach

A friend reminded me
that some of my options
have been stolen
by the pandemic

I simply need to
keep taking things
one day at a time
and adapt

Remember
this isn't forever
and the days will
be longer soon

I know I will
dive in to dig out
the key
eventually
