As We Pray In Unity

Clouds become the sky to see
Gray and white swirling above me
Thoughts change with things externally
In a world gripped by uncertainty
Where are the answers that seem to flee?
In a time we all need them desperately
I walk in familiar calmness to be
Ready for anything beyond each tree
In a nightmare it's hard to be happy
Dealing with deaths increasing daily
Others before us, lived horrific similarity
Maybe, we thought we'd always be free
But now, we wish for life, a simple bumblebee
To visit the yard and buzz around in glee
Something, anything, pieces of beauty
Heal us now, as we pray in unity!

So much of who you are is in the Ines of your verse. I would not have thought of a monrhyme, you did it beautifully.

Yes, very difficult times. We are all up against this, and it is a good time to reflect and unite. I appreciate your visit and comment. I remember, when I first came to Soup. You were one of the 1st ones to compliment me on my poem. I will never forget. Thank you Silent One. I hope all is well. Take care :)

Yes and I didn't see one, I was thinking about one. I am actually concerned about the lack of usual animals around here. Squirrels, chipmunks, birds, etc. Although, my neighbor warned of a beer and 3 Cubs here the other day. Thank you. I hope you are well Gershon :)
