A Goodbye 2020 Poem

 

She ponders the life she lives, and feels deep down in her being

that the world will recover but will she ever feel the same?

It’s ok if not, because the earth is a giant, lovely mother

that hugs you to her with sunlight, waves and moonbeams and so much

beauty, all around her. Still, she wonders if all will be ok in her world.

Will it? She decides that it will because there’s resilience and grit

and friendships too, if you know where to look for each.

There is music to soothe the soul and also to rock the blues away.  

Also, there is dancing and art and books upon books to show the way

 or to make you forget the sadness out there. Sadness in there too.

Loss. Grief. Anger that might be more like disappointment.  But wait!

There’s also exquisite beauty in the mountains and deep abiding love

among her favorite humans. She feels this so strongly that she decides that all is

right with the world. Her world. Our world. And so…it is, and will be and shall be.
