And again let us turn to more hopeful things,
like the sun
try as I might not to involve myself in American politics
the fact of being subject to such an obnoxious
inhumane disruptive neighbour
for what felt like such a long and pain-filled time,
then witnessing a rather glorious eviction
the triumph once again of good
versus evil
or certainly a return to decency over blatant fascism
and
denial
makes this morning’s sun seem so soul-nourishingly bright
and Wonderful
also I have been sick of late, nothing so tragic
a bit of a flu bug, I believe
where normally one might just plug on
get through a work day, then rest
but now in these times,
where returning to work is not allowed
and isolation is required
until covid test results are
in
I am most wonderfully filled with so much gratitude
for the very great dedication
and kindness
of nurses
or in my experience in any and all
health care professionals
a truly extraordinary bunch
at this point, I really have no patience for deniers
for anti-most-everything-ers
for arrogant conspirators
who do nothing to contribute to our collective
well-being, other than attempt to make
more noise and listen to the sounds of their own voices
if you or someone you know has not been sick
in any way
do not tell me, what you believe to be behind
a truly caring individual who will put their own
well-being on the line
to ever so kindly take gentle loving care
of you
and your own peace of mind
as I
will always put my trust
in compassion, kind-heartedness
and love
as well as my firm belief
that indeed the sun
will again
come out tomorrow
my grounding gratitude
resides
in this
whenever it is the light falls
on softer things
and the gentle, triumphant beginnings
of new hope ♥
