(revisiting my verse from 6/16/20)

Prompted to

Step outside

See the world in a new way

Enforced to

stay inside

a year ago:

nature took matters
into its own hands . . .

the atmosphere
breathed clean

The air cleared

of human clouds

but oh so briefly

too soon

the clouds returned.

the meek determined
to inherit the Earth

Curious sheep, cows, goats, kangaroos

crept urban streets

sci-fi silent:

the meek have returned home.

justice overruled
rulers and the cruel

Efforts were made but

the struggle continues

power rises and falls

crushing justice.

a new beginning
with peace on Earth
in a world
without end

Howling wind and rain

Spring returns

struggling to scour nature

free of fire and force.

Easter rising . . .
