After the Pandemic
I will go to the meadow where the lacy flowers glow.
Nurtured by sunlight that flows in from all directions.
I will pass Queen Anne’s lace, tulips, iris and daffodils.
Lavender and lilac’s fragrances will flow into my essence.
I will go to the forest where moss and violets greet me.
I will feel the roughness of oak’s bark as I hug him happily.
Tiny ants climbing onto my skin will delight me, and I them.
I will stop to admire the red and yellow mushrooms.
I will go to the prairie where tall grasses hide me from the bobcat.
I will feel his eyes on me, but know I am safe, for God has me.
Grasshoppers, moths, and a beautiful monarch will greet me.
The day will be warm and inviting; I will feel loved here.
I will go to the brook where I can take off my shoes and wade.
Feeling the rounded pebbles under my feet.
The deer will walk by in a dainty way, and I will be silent.
I will feel cherished, like I am a part of the gurgling brook.
I will go to the sea where I will smell the ocean.
I will get on a boat and I will travel around waving and yelling.
Others will be waving and yelling back.
We will have a huge party on the dock, laughing and dancing all night.
