My grief overwhelms
Like a tsunami crashes
On democracy
240 years
Of life and now it’s dying

Greeting not returned
Once friendly with each other
The division felt

Lots of thoughts these days
Focusing on gratitude
Love of family

Mesmerizing snow
Fresh eyes see for the first time
As landscape changes

Toddler looking out picture window mesmerized at seeing his first snow.

Reflection of self
All seems to be so serene
Under the surface
Troubled water breaking free
Find a bridge help ease my mind

It’s an allusion
Is our sense of control real
Or a delusion
Sun paints the sky, let’s inhale
Mother Nature’s wonderment

Supporting our friends
When we are not together
Makes a difference
Our voice and privilege help
Showing how it can be done
