Heidi Sands Poet Monorhyme

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!

Gershon Wolf March 26, 2020 at 7:38 PM A simple bumblebee - sign of the times, I guess. Cheers, Gershon Heidi Sands March 27, 2020 at 1:36 PM 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 :)
