Infections

Crowding the planet, 

human and plant cells,

playing games, life and death, 

uncertainty...

steal hope, offer confusion, despair,

sometimes comfort still,

quiet companioing

at a bedside,  on a website, 

with a protest sign...

confusion, best answers, sought, 

breathe in, and out, 

snow falls white fluffy wonder, 

a two year old's delight, 

reminds me again...

solutions oft unrecognized, present 

they come, they go, 

new stories born from old, 

re found amidst ice 

melting refrozen...

this little light of mine, glory comes.
