Description
We found a tear
In the fabric of the living.
Through it
We could feel the breeze of light.
Its warmth seemed genuine enough.
But as much as I flew
The light withdrew.
With each stroke
A little further away.
The masses hurtled by
Frantically saving
What was left
Of tattered wing and tail
Tornadoes grew
Borne of those blindfold efforts.
Ripping apart the weak
Snuffing out the light
single frame- multiple exposure photograph
I know this seems a little dark. I suppose global events are having some affect on me. However, I am not afraid. This time next year, this will be a memory. Perhaps a new paradigm for coming generations....perhaps not.
Be safe. Watch the sunrise, sunset, be grateful.
Peace to you

Fickle Friday: Midnight DoveLISTEN TO THE SONG
Midnight dove
Why do you wander on through clouded skies
There must be a glimpse of hope in sight
Spread your wings and take to flight
Leave the past behind
The dawn will birth a brand new light
So fly on

we didn't shake hands at church on Sunday and after the service the church council met and called off services until April, definitely, and past that, probably.
some paradigm shifting is definitely in order. a lot of good people hoping for it, a lot of people dead set against it. I remain grateful though.

Man oh man.
You know what's hard is that we're doing all this and can't exactly see what good it's doing - just waiting for the curve to bend, for the rate of increase in Covid-19 cases to go down.
But we're doing it and I give everyone credit for that.
