One night
The change blew in
Causing a storm in my heart.

Yet there is a grounding
Of resident grace and strength
That helps me walk this dark new line

Who is she?
This intruder bleak?
Who not a word does speak?

She brings her friends
Frustration, mutation
She idolises fear

Yet I welcome her
No not easy
Yet opportunity offers to come by
She tells me she’s underneath the rubble
Just bear with her
Go to a bit of trouble
And see what lies beneath
Oh sultry reactor get out of the way
This is the dawn of a brand new day!

EuniceS March 2020 Written a few days after awareness that COVID-19 was with us.
