A Different World

I see the beaches and streets all empty
I smell the fear rising from our skin
I feel the courage beating in each heart
I taste the sadness of loss upon my tongue
I hear the birds fill the quiet of each day
I think the virus has forever changed our world

Hello Jeanne … I feel the same about the world has changed and this time we must stay vigilant and focused. Humanity will find a way forward, but it will be different. A nice poem Jeanne about now - Lindsay
