Four Walls and Covid 19

Four walls closed in fear and a window with a view, is that me in here without you? Outside a spring flower scene with daffodil bloom and birds that sing and I inside alone quietly scream restricted under quarantine. Looking at these prison walls closing in I lack the combative sense that reveals need recognizing this safety pin as the mind retreats to images of healthy defense. Fear not, I am safe and securely curled listening to the news that over scores the seriousness around this netherworld with praise and prayer for those protecting me and yours. To those on the front lines, risking their own health, God bless and protect in these worrysome days.
