The Privilege V

I started the day The way, thousands of days I have Started before. The sun had barely risen above the horizon, It seemed to hesitate for a while, then climbed higher, Determent was to chase away the remaining Shadows of the night! I stood there in silence, Observing and admiring this magical phenomenon, Pondering: How lucky and grateful I am to be still here, Living, Thinking, Feeling, Loving, Wondering, and Dreaming of the future, Suddenly, My mood changed, It became somber then turned gloomy as I thought of all those people Who, during the night, had lost this privilege that We enjoy now: To be alive!* © Demetrios Trifiatis 09 January 2021 *In memory of the thousands of our brothers and sisters around the world who have lost the battle against COVID-19 last night! R.I.P. for a greater privilege than ours waits for you in the heavens!
