For Covid Days
they tell me 2020
is a portal
for your learning
learn from
the stolen lives
learn from
our abuse of nature
learn from
the factory of lies
learn from
the ash of despair.
so i step into 2021
with my learning––
opening doors
to unlearning
opening doors
to humanity
opening windows
to compassion
opening gates
to the garden of truth
opening wounds
to heal and repair.
each breath
we breathe
let’s unlearn.
let’s care.
for we are
mere molecules
between here
and there.
between this
moment
and eternity
opening a keyhole
to epiphany.
