~ a prayer in the time of the virus

        i will not let the highway run over me,
        i will not be ashamed to show my tears,
        i will see a future blossom in the bud

        i will not keep your memory in shadows,
        i will not turn away from what mirrors
        tell me is the face sculpted by sorrow

        i will seek the shelter of heartedness,
        i will see flowing water as winter ice
        surrenders to the early spring thawing

        i will remember how the precious gifts
        of love were wrapped with a transience
        tinging sweetness with an echo of musk

        i'll be the playful child i always was,
        safe in the fortress of wisdom's walls
