Monstrous gloom descends
anxiety engulfs life
pandemic looms large
gales of panic blow
amidst uncertain currents
cling steadfast to faith
sparkle of ray peeps
glorious sunshine embraces
global well being
Feeling low on hearing about so many positive cases around me. Trying to keep up a positive frame of mind, clinging on to hope, that things will improve and praying that this pandemic will end. Soon the world will see a beautiful new dawn emerge behind the grey clouds of fear.
Stay safe and take care!
Wonderful

Just the dark before the dawn. When I read this poem, even though it was about the pandemic, it stirred hope in me. You have this unique gift of endowing even a poem on darkness, with light. This is a unique talent. Excellent
