Confirmation #SOL20


Today, 
the clouds masking the past few days 
parted
giving way to a welcoming sun

the winds escorting the rain and humidity
making room for refreshment

the deep breath
cleansing the fear, 
the uncertainty, 
the invisibility

until news 
of the confirmation

  3. Oh no, Leigh Anne. I'm so sorry. Someone in your family or school? As Margaret said it does feel as if we all have this news coming. Be well.

  5. Invisibility is the mark of the virus until it rears its ugly head. Stay grounded, Leigh Anne. We are in the midst of the virus and it is scary for sure. I am sorry that your area is now marked. Stay safe!
