Menacingly Waiting

It’s all around
It’s everywhere
And when you least expect 
t’will linger and await 
Invisible in the air
No indication 
No warning 
Your innocent breaths 
You are unaware

Donning your mask 
Do not wait to be asked
Safely distancing at all times
For this dreaded virus 
We're unable to see
Menacingly waiting
For the likes of you
Menacingly waiting
For he likes of me

And in the meantime
After all cautions taken
Find pleasure in all
Mother Nature doth bring
~  her morning sunrise
~  her calming sea
~  her full moon mesmerising
Her many gifts for you for me 
oh such joy they are bringing 
when you hear your is heart singing
For this virus can’t destroy them
Even though it’s causing mayhem

Take care of this miracle crafted
As you stroll through her woods and her fields
Created for us by a force up above
Encompassing us with his tenderest love

Rico Leffanta Date: 8/26/2021 11:42:00 AM Some people have a "third" eye, but many more have a blind eye, and see only what they want to see . . . .

Victor Buhagiar Date: 8/26/2021 8:07:00 AM I know people who refuse to take the vaccine and wear protective masks. Then they complain. What a pity. Hugs. Login to Reply Ann Gilmour Date: 8/26/2021 8:22:00 AM Thank you Victor, it becomes rather scary when so close to home. Although she has had the vaccines, but is still feeling rather poorly, so praying she will be okay. Keep well my friend. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
