Obediently
We stay indoors
Outside rain polishes
McAdam - black marble
A virus
Keeps us apart
Yet these eternal days
Will pass
The night
Struggles off in grey slothfulness
Mourning our horror
Of living in lockdown
Too lazy to rise
The wind slumbers on
Meanwhile upstairs
Rainfall drums upon the ceiling
The cow turns her back
To this weather
No reason to slow her industry
Today
Opportunely
We have hope
Born in apprehension
Rain advises
Lost work
Uncertain futures
Our grim prospect
Until
A vaccine
To curb the blight
Infecting the world
Progresses
The shower
Reminds us
Even as lights blaze in daylight
Abundance follows
Our flight instinct is to give into fear
From our intellect is the enabler that gives us the courage of hope. Opportunity is the companion of hope and it is up to us to employ both. The challenge is to fight on gallantly. Be brave! Always be brave.
