We have been jolted. Lives lost. Jobs lost. Health lost.
Trust is lost.
The trap is real. Are there cracks of light, anywhere?
Light in the midst of dark is the only salvation for those seeking escape
We don’t want pep talks
It is here where we need to find ourselves
Again and for better
This is the hidden invitation
How have I felt this way before, and what then did I do
Waste, waste is what comes to mind first, time
The jolt is beckoning me to open wider
My eyes, arms, and heart
With these there is worth in reclaiming
Without abhor, I embrace the need
And meaning
To restore
Reassert who I want to be, to help, not just stand still
Improve. Forgive. Recapture.
Live the dreams I still can
Recall
