A chapter in the book A Window On My World

A Healthy Distance

by LisaMay

A feather floats down —

I know an angel is near,

healing Hell on Earth.

• 

Birds flock on free wings.

Land-stranded, my thoughts soar, too,

in flights of fancy.

Lifted on updraft,

new perspectives are gained at

a healthy distance.

Author's Note:
An updraft is a current of warm rising air. In the context of this poem, I am using it as a metaphor for the possibility that once this pandemic is under control, we may become a healthier society, in all aspects, through gaining a new perspective by being bonded in the caring warmth of a shared experience, and seeing that a cooperative future is the way forward. (But then, I always was an idealist.)
