Fear Not, My Friend

As the sun sets on a teeter-tauter week
  Prospects may seem dauntingly bleak
Millions upon millions out of work
  The ubiquitous virus wears a smirk

Consternation, frustration
  both reign supreme
A deeply divided nation
  dares not dream

Fear not, my friend
  For in heaven the course is set
We know not what the tide brings
  Fish trapped in a wider net

Gershon, Well the journey was always worth it and this poem is proof enough. "Telstar Telstar Listen to me..." Magic star above Send a message to my love Tell her that I'll await patiently Silence so lonely Dreaming of her only Swift and graceful as a dove way up above....Aaaaah... -R
