the passingover of ugliness...

it has been written

in one of the book s of nikki…

if you look into a mirror

you’ll see a beautiful creature

looking back at you…

 

 

it is assumed

that in the reality

of nature there are both

beauty and ugliness

and that both

are at the interpretation

of the eyes of the beholder…

behold—beneath the epidemic

shadowing—the risen sun

brightly spreading its grandeur

over the graveyard silence

of terrestrial beings…

broken only by the piercing echoes

of a flying flock of birds

overhead in rhythmic v-formation

thus shattering the otherwise anechoic

atmosphere that the imposed ensconcing

has placed upon all of nature’s humanity…

 

 

unlike nature’s storms—tornados, hurricanes,

tsunamis—& quaking earth, the present

enormity of pandemic devastation is not physical

seen or heard—only felt in the daily rise

in our human death toll…rising to its apex curving…

 

 

yet…through verandah blinds…can be seen

happy wasp building their nest…red-breasted

birds hop-scotching the greening grass

through which scurrying squirrels dash

as they eagerly elevator themselves

from tree to tree…blinking waving smiles…

 

 

in the midst of the ugliness

that loneliness and fear can bring

in the shadow of death

nature has her way of infusing serene

beauty impregnating thanksgiving prayers

of another day of being perpendicular

to her cosmic presence…generating

shaded memory of the mourning

at the crucifixion...transforming

into exuberant joy and exhilaration

of the resurrection…

proving that this tormenting time too…

shall soon passover…

leaving  blood-stained memories

of overcoming—returning

to the remaining struggle

for justice…equality…peace…love…
