THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Our forefathers

lived in caves

without electricity

or running water

susceptible each day

to tribal warfare,

manslaughter

πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

wandering in

the woods, vulnerable

to predation

facing every day

some emergency

situation

πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

disaster, since the

big bang, has been

an unheeding

occurrence

nature’s reminder

to realign

our priorities

and preference

πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

from tsunamis

to pandemics to

environmental stress

the threats we

face as a species

are countless

πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

catastrophes will come

and catastrophes will go

but the human spirit

has alway thrived

the human spirit will

always endure

πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

today there is disease,

downturn, isolation

compounded by

insecurity, fear

and frustration

πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

but ensconced in

our homes, we share tips

on health / medication

drawing strength from

one another through

hope and motivation

πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

with our DNAs

fortified by the power

to reason, to think

we are less fragile than

we sometimes

mistakenly think

πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

needing surprisingly

little in our lives

to get by

we may fall to

the ground

but can still touch

the sky

πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

the battle seems long,

difficulties long drawn

but. even the longest,

blackest nights

unfold into a bright

new dawn

πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

pain is a university

we’ll graduate wiser

from this class

till then let’s be

each other’s strength

and remember

This Too Shall Pass
