The scene that I saw in the skies reminded me to smile !
I wrote this poem when just musing over Covid-19.
I just described what I saw and it cheered me so……
It seemed to remind me of togetherness family and community and the need not to despair.
Poem Number Five
Birds
It was a difficult day
The heart was heavy with delayed promise.
The mind -slumped in problems
People laden with sorrows.
The air was stilted and heavy with torments
Collective consciousnesses of anger and tears
Saturated exhalations from crowds of
tormented mourners
When,in answer to doubting Thomas’s
One bird flew
Swooping low
demanding attention,
And,all at once his cry was answered
met by a host of identical flyers ,who gathered
a crowd of individual relations…
they,joined the one who had
been alone.
I watched them all
dance together,
They
circled,playfully,above my head
long enough for me to admire
before,like ballet dancers
on a stage
they each commanded an artistic exit
And the world seemed a brighter
and a happier place
Embelished by their
joint performance.
