Coronavirus

coronavirus
        invisible ravager of bodies and economies
        ineluctable disrupter of culture and the social fabric
        insidious sower of dread and despair
what you can’t see can hurt you

you and me
        shown to be like by our common vulnerability
        choosing to be like in listening carefully, thinking wisely, acting bravely
        reacting, adapting, embracing life as it is now for hope of what it will be
what you can see can heal you

  1. You challenge me, Tim, to write a poem relating to the spread of the Coronavirus darkness.

    In many ways Debbie and I are hunkering down in our home and making efforts to be safe. It has already changed our lives. I keep wondering what responsible, compassionate and healthy response I can make. I’m not sure but maybe I could write about it as you already have done in your moving One thought on “Coronavirus.”

    Thank you for that.
