To Feel the Warmth Again 1 Couplet

I need to feel warmth again To feel the protection of the Divine The memory of eternal beauty The dark sapphire nights surrounded by star light The laughter of a neighbor The time to work to make the world a better place And with help turning off the pain of man Time to watch the news without cringing Perhaps it has always been there I have worked and sent funds all my life Around the world and here at home Yet now it feels disparate and overwhelming Everything seems so dark and cold I once went to Quaker meetings And Unitarian too, but now there is a lock down Too much arthritic pain and illness too It seems like such an empty time Though I have seen the caring of some Struggling to help with food and health Near the denial of others playing in the sun While nurses and health workers grow tired And people loose their homes It seems like such a cold time Shouldn’t greed be shuttered down I need to feel the warmth again The starlight purple nights To feel the deep sense of the Divine And the hope and wonder of a caring mankind
