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

ReplyDeleteWe all have this news coming. Such a sad time. I don't even turn it on anymore.
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteThere are really no words... but the feeling...
ReplyDeleteInvisibility 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!
ReplyDeleteOh, Leigh Anne, I was breathing in the beauty of your words until the last two lines. So sorry. Sending prayers.
