…to confuse, disconcert, upset, frustrate….

I’m feeling discombobulated.

I fear I’ll be the one who’s fated

to stare at the world in stark surprise,

unable to trust my very eyes.

I’m reaching for a Rainbow.

It’s nearer to my hand.

And, when I touch this rainbow,

I’ll share it cross our land.

The rain has set a record.

I’m bedraggled.  I am wet.

A “river of rain” has fallen.

How much wetter can it get?

It’s a bitter day in history.

Our President’s been impeached.

I bow my head with sorrow.          

Our Country’s honor’s breached.

Yesterday’s death toll shocks our mind.

It stuns the imagination.

The pervasive hand of Virus Death

hovers across this nation.

Our Country needs a Lullaby

to sooth its broken heart.

Our Country needs a Lullaby

for a people ripped apart.

Our Country needs a Lullaby….

a song that’s sweet and true.

This Lullaby’s for our Country.

And, this Lullaby’s for you.

I saw a rainbow in a cloud

on this partly-sunny day.

The rainbow floated in the cloud,

and then it slipped away.

They say it’s like the flu shot.

 I sure hope it won’t be worse.

I know the risk is lesser than

this Dreaded Virus Curse.

Each one makes a choice each day

as we waken from our rest.

We clothe ourselves in apathy, or.

we choose to do our best.
