The sky
My comfort, my barameter
Blue and clear, endless days of hope
Desire to recline on lazy white clouds
Disregard the grey, look away
Perspective from the starry nights
Breathe deep
And rest

A COVID rose haiku...
Dew, glist’ning like tears
On roses hint spring is near
And this too, shall pass
