Every cell in my body reacts to this threat Every thought a prelude to survival Even the bones that hold my form shake My family my responsibility I'm not helpless And then there's the others The ones not worthy of love my glance My touch now far behond our reach The avarice lingers but a form anew Insatiable appetite wetted and full on flow But in rest something begins something anew Applause a noticed smile a nod at who we are And what we will become as death awaits Attention in focus is what we need Not a focus attention on a vague before Let there be love in this time And when we return let the love be true Maybe the curve is just that A peering round the corner to pastures new Or maybe this has been approached before On smaller scales in far off words of old The flood the plague wars to end all wars Such nonsense when viewed from afar But real and meant when experience tells Timing is key in algorithm of love One miss and the boat or paper of eternal exscretia disappears Oh the comedy of it all the fight the anger the reality But these are times of corona let love commit a cardinal sin And remain a thought in our hearts even if it's only When sitting in isolation delving deep and returning back again
