Pink and Blue Sunset

Pink and blue sunset, gorgeous
before Ian takes a toll. Silhouette 
of tropical palms in Ponte Vedra.

The angst in Southwest peninsula
is more dire. Land exposed, meaning
the surf’s sharpening her sword.

Disneyworld is closed. The Mouses,
Mickey and Minnie, hunkered down.
Are the gators taking sides or bets?

Grandma, cousin, friend - all the same
person waits for the surge, and for the
resurgence to come from off the storm.

Some weeks are wait-and-see. Plans
could change, pandemically.
   Pink and blue sunset, gorgeous.

There is always some beauty before a storm then sometimes there is abnormal quiet before all the fury breaks loose. I don't think it is going to be so bad for us now, according to what they are saying now. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my page about Dove Love. I put a nice long answer to your question on there. Sara

Amazingly enough, there was a gorgeous pink and blue sunset in Chicago yesterday... Ian nowhere on the horizon. Hold on to those palm trees down there...

Bad storm. Well said. Hope you are getting to feel stronger. I had Sars I believe, some 20 or so years ago. Very high fever for three days. Had to get back to work, but was weak for a good year afterwards. Was no joke. If it helps to hear, have never caught it again. Have not been vaccinated. Wishing you speedy and complete recovery.
