April Weeps

Tears like raindrops fall
forty days of making music 
giving gratitude for essential workers
forty days I have been sheltering 
in place with people who love me
forty days I have watched
the news with hope, with despair
forty days have passed
since I held a grandchild in my arms

forty days of hope
of believing we could 
make it end, this nightmare 
called pandemic, 

today the sky snivels, 
joins me in deep longing 
blooms, bright yellow reflect 
the droplets of sorrow

Beltane's arrival seeks
Mayday       Mayday     Mayday
 release.
