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.
