hope

What happen to the laughter,

The joy that once was there

A dark deep cloud began to rise

A sickness undeclared 

It swept across in human life

Unseen but still so real

A enemy without face 

Claimed all it set out to kill.

The cries within the elderly 

The beds of sick and dying 

The young, the youth,  left 

Behind found alone and crying.

What happen to the laughter

The joy that once was there

Now we gather in brokenness

Now we gather in despair….

The sky begins

To rumble

The earth breaks

And begins to crumble

Bulbs push up

To soak in rain

And signs now show

Spring returned again

I ran this morning

On ice and snow

The trees glisten

The ice fairies glow

I hear the geese

Sound celebration

The storm is gone

Now jubilation

As I crunched

My shoes as I run

I looked up to see

A heart shaped sun

Eve of Christmas

Time to pray

Time to say

A Yuletide

We are not sure

We wait with uncertainty

We listen to sounds unheard

As the world still does not know

What challenges we face …

Among the stars

And ending night

My heart sores

My feet take flight

Alas another day is here

still left with our covid fear

But sustain us all we pray

So we will see another day.

A full blue moon

Hangs just outside

The stars near by

All will hide

Behind the blue moon…
