Covid-19 Poem

Mother Nature

April 5 & 5, 2020

By: C. Heidi Drew

But, the wee bird is stuck and battling it's wound

I am stuck too but we can't help one another

It's the nature of things to get stuck without a tune

By which now we stop and sacrifice for the mother

The mother first, mother earth, mother nature's one

To tell us to stop, listen to all the birds singing

To all this reality that is solid under the sun

Telling us to look within and without bringing

Your self-centered needs before all the rest

Rest and contemplate the wisdom in the sky

The wisdom that asks why we are in this test

Yes hidden nature is challenging us as to why

We think we can do better than what she gives

She knows she must show us otherwise

That our greed is not the best way to live

Our brilliant gadgets will not destroy her skies

We gather together but apart yet in a new way

Connecting closer at a distance of space and time

Mother making and shaking up our focus of a day

Maybe here father sky and mother earth are aligned

We reach out and live days realistically within

The confines of our current situation's bubble

While the mother and the father continue to spin

Life's a challenge, be grateful, stay out of trouble
