I am part of the world, but need to distance myself. It’s painful to watch the storms that surround us. Tears sometimes flow, triggered by a sense of awe of what humanity has come to.
Resetting the mind
In troubling times
A daunting task
*
Dark, stormy clouds
Keep rolling in
Blurring focus
*
Simple rainbow appears
Illuminating the moody darkness
Brightening the moment
*
Privileged to experience
The joy that still
Colors the sky
*
