Stay Home Save Lives

July 10, 2020 - A Spring of Blue Skies

The following poem was written before the summer solstice.

These times are hard

Emotions frayed

I try to be aware

I take a walk

To ease my pain

Let my thoughts stray elsewhere

A sliver streak

Glows far away

Thin contrail follows close

I look around

For more contrails

And then I diagnose

Early spring days

Have been so blue

Few planes fly in the air

A side effect

Of viral plague

Clear skies we all can share

A vibrant blue

Most children pick

To draw a sunny day

I wonder if

We all could choose

To let our blue sky stay
