A Safer Harbour
My heart holds this moment close
of wind and rain sweet across the bay
grey storm that heralds our coming autumn
a shred of blue forecasts afternoon calm
but for now the rain drops resolute
My coffee warm against my hands
as I gaze out upon the grasses swaying
on the bluff above a fortress of grey stone
the seagulls have no worries of the day
as they play below the cloud shield
With talk of a war ending and covid
the surge of unrest while the world cries
the days bluster unwinds in shared tempest
yet I feel hopeful like the blue sky glows
can we join voices to stand in reality
Embrace the truth over false echos
see weather change in the balance of life
I hear the march of little feet running to class
we're trying to arrange some normal days
but really, watching the storm is safer
