Thank you for sharing, James <3

I found myself in a similar state Wednesday morning, and found myself also writing the words I wished to hear as I noticed the small acts taking place, and the natural world just ticking on as it always has.

And today

A postman folded a plane for a toddler

Who gurgled with joy to fly it down the street

And on the bus

People gave up their seats

For those more in need

And gave them up again

Starlings bickered

Over invisible feed

On the pavement

As they chirped and

Fluffed their feathers

The moon and sun will rise

And set

We have each other, still

As the walls close in

Still

In dimly lit rooms,

candles, matches are revealed.

Among the shadows.
