A Spirit In the Air

There's a spirit abroad, in the air You feel it forming everywhere Behind closed doors, locked down tight A feeling that we're doing this right ~ A clarion call to unite Together we stand, divided we fall Abe Lincoln's words hover over us all Rich man, poor man, red or blue "Yes, we can," we sense anew We'll prevail 'gainst COVID-19 too

Very inspirational write, Gershon. There is no need to sit around and mope; just remember there is always hope. Take good care - Bob

We'll prevail 'gainst COVID-19 too... Yes, we will.. If together.. Unfortunately, some are not.. Great expression Gershon..

Divided we fall. We've got to all come together. Imperative! Thanks, Jenish

I like that you caught the feeling of great isolation while giving us that glimmer of hope. Nice that we can sing out with poetry and share our joint burden with the power of words. Well done and thanks for your sharing your art!

Optimistic write, counter-balancing fear. You are right. We got this!

Yes, we got this -- if we stay the course. A lot of Americans are going to learn the true meaning of the word 'sacrifice!' We have a long, rough road ahead... :) gw
