Patience Harder to Find than New Love
By Peter Jarosz
As the cobwebs of COVID
Play their deadly worldly games
We wonder. Except for the few
We known that have been bitten.
To empathize is just to lie
The one truth that is real.
To wish for the best
Is the other. Truth.
After that it's confusion
At best.
We walk talk etc
But so do robots
But we still can dream of the lights
At the far end of the tunnel.
But that is easy to say
If. Covid has not become more than a shadow.
Nature is peeling the sighs of winter away
But the work to spruce it up
Gets harder and harder
As the sunrise and our bodies ache with all the etc.
We have vacuumed all the webs
But continue on the web
To communicate.
Is that the bait?
Like a broken lovers heart
Time time time can only ease itself,
But like nature it heals itself
And patience is harder to find
Than a new love .
Yet some how we do manage
For it finds us
But
The price is the question .
The change
Find that penny!
The title. The Covid Cobweb www
I guess that is the rewrite
very insightful poetry Peter. love it.
