For most death has won
as the enemy comes
unknown,
unseen.
The rest have fear
nagging,
hanging,
constant and consistent
as it breaks
even the strongest.
Brave souls,
in scrubs and without
fighting the terror
the relentless enemy
that claims without borders
that hides in the dark
unseen in the light.
The world has paused
a warrior in mid-battle
emptiness
silence
untold stories
but life doesn’t stop.
It cripples even the bravest
Irrational behavior
Is that the fear manifesting?
Nature has won.
As the human hides
the clear skies breathe
birds fly
the beasts roam
with unchained freedom
to claim their victory.
The enemy lurks
Hiding in shadows.
As faceless as it may be
and as powerful,
we all know the truth-
Nothing lasts forever.
Faith and Hope
befriend them
pause
heads up
and believe.
We will survive.
There’s no other way.
