Ships Safely At Sea

A tsunami may pass a ship at sea
with barely a ripple as it races to
shore, where ships safe at anchor
may be lifted and tossed aground
by its tumultuous wave.

So too the coronavirus wave will
pass thorough many, with naught
but a mild headache, muscle pain
and a sore throat which quickly
subsides. 

But an unlucky few are swept
under, overwhelmed in a
cascade of organ failure
from which they never
recover.

I pray that you may be
among the many and
not the 
few.
