“Where Has The Beauty Gone?”
Where has the beauty gone?
Places unknown?
Streets less traveled,
Wandering home.
The quiet of less,
Ringing about.
Single travelers,
Covered up mouths.
Pausing at windows,
Missing the touch.
Visible presence,
For now—it’s enough.
Responsible others,
Well-being depends.
Social distance discretion,
Long distance friends.
A return to the simple,
At times complex.
Gathering together,
A human reflex.
Entered introspection.
Use this time well.
Emerge from this stasis,
And keep others well.
