In the first minutes of dawn, at the edge of the dark night, she awakes…
Inexplicable dread overtakes her…
… a dream?
…or the zeitgeist of our time…
~
In the dark hours of time, a “virus” slipped in; a failing, narcissistic system; a divisive ideology, resurrected from former shadow minds of tribal hatred, attempting to invade and isolate through the power of greed and self-interest…
Turning us against ourselves with its myopic lens, demeaning and deriding “other” cultures, “other” races, “other” religions, “other” peoples – while pretending to protect its own…
The “virus” imposes boundaries on a boundaryless world, polarizing unity into fragments that shatter, creating the current paradigm of Ignorance, Paranoia, Protectionism, Isolationism, Narcissism, Nationalism, Racism, Fear and Violence.
But those who know the beauty of true Light, endure the false light, knowing that the mindless “virus” cannot shatter the pristine Light of a radiant Cosmos; for it cannot be rent in two by the darkness of ignorant minds whose pretense and perniciousness would even attempt to destroy what cannot be destroyed:
The Eternal, Infinite Light and movement of a Grand Cosmic Mystery with its own Rhythms and Purposes unknown by feeble, darkened minds and the ineptness of fake power.

May the Infinite Spirit of Love heal our wounded lives and help us endure what is happening in our country and the world…
Yes, masks cause distrust and fear as well, it reminds us of thieves and bandits, and it hides our smiles and expressions, so you cannot read body language or intentions… and he worst of all are the blindfolds!
Such a poignant poem! So agree with the real virus being division, fear etc.I hate the fact that wearing a mask hides everyone’s beautiful smiles!!!
