Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Positivity

I stand to admire
the sun's amber reflection
a prism creation on the window 
a array of rainbow colours
etched upon clear crystal glass
a new year brings new thoughts
a day to start over again
new lessons to be learned
in an ever changing world
we need to take a break
step back in solitude
to overcome the influx
of negativity around us
to let the light of positivity
shine upon us.

Jack Horne July 19, 2020 at 10:14 AM yes, such truth here, my friend. I hope all is well with you & yours. Is your part of Canada still safe? Everyone is expecting a second wave here but shops, pubs etc are all re-opening Phyllis Babcock July 22, 2020 at 3:46 PM Thanks Jack. Yes we are still safe with no new cases around us. Thank goodness due to our sparse population and trying to curve this virus we have done okay so far. Most things have opened up for us. Celebrating our 48 anniversary today. Take care my friend. love phyl
