Sonnet For a Corona Virus
A dark and unseen presence in our midst
Spreads fear and caution stifling our striving
Would sole and loving God choose to enlist
Such agency to threaten our surviving?
In infinite diversity of forms
That populate the universe we know
Creations come with each new day that dawns
Chance: minor deities vie to bestow
Might one small god be swelling now with pride
His blessed child with given name: a crown
Has spread its realm extending far and wide
Domain where now the sun does ne’er go down
But kingdoms come and go as dew on grass
Men and viruses prevail but then shall pass
