How Do You Feel

How do you feel with so many people dying suddenly?
This issue has overflowed like a volcano and can no longer be ignored
How do you feel seeing a range of disabilities in previous healthy people?
Do you have a plan? Do you have a hidden voice wanting to scream?
Do you hide truth that you know, due to division and attacks?
Do you feel hopeless or powerless as this situation continues to escalate?
We are not either of these, when we are united with love and truth
We outnumber any of our corrupt enemies or people with bad intentions
We have strength if we have faith and we have hope when we choose to see
How do you feel when you see an injured bird recover and take flight?
How do you feel when you see a sunrise start a new beginning?
In our lives loss is inevitable, with so many so fast, it feels like a tidal wave
Still, your soul is on the land of God’s creation that helps you in many ways
You are alive; made to feel, see, speak and be who you are born to be!
Each sunrise gives you a day to rise, a day to shine and a day to be wise
As time ticks and wildlife chooses to visit, remember the freedom you are meant to have!

Sotto Poet January 22, 2023 at 7:02 AM A magnificent poetry that also serves as a magnificent reflection on life. When things are challenging, our minds tend to get caught up in the chaos of our lives. Good luck with the contest. Heidi Sands January 22, 2023 at 8:43 AM Thank you Sotto.

Quoth Theraven January 21, 2023 at 8:08 PM Heidi, Lost some way too young. Always a truth to your writes, sometimes with a warning call. Yet also a ray of hope between fine lines. "You are alive; made to feel, see, speak and be who you are born to be!" -Richard Heidi Sands January 22, 2023 at 5:53 AM Thank you so much Richard :)
