LOVE IN THE TIME OF COVID-19: Spoken Word Poem from Quarantine

We exist, we thrive, all space and all time

Illumination of all that we find

Within our cells, within our deepest wells

A Source sustained through pandemic infection

Win or lose paradigms no longer fit the picture

Safe-guarding people from breath failure

Old and young deathly ill from COVID-19

Quarantine and separate, remembering real living

Human wildfire dividing all green spirits

How to survive if not through each other

Exchanging love transcends all race and mother tongues

The answer, the synergy, awareness of all as one

People, faces, all around our earth are crying

Call on humanity, remember we are One

Within, without, stand apart, we were born to transcend

We live and die, but share the right to defend

Clockwork blossoms follow cycles of our seasons

Rise and bloom with purpose and wisdom

Interconscious tribes, save our quarantined families

All choices add up to our unified survival

And everyone impacts the world-wide viral

Contracting COVID could absolutely weaponize us

Harming ones we adore, too close, too soon, harming more...

In isolation we grow the flower of compassion

Human ninety-eight percent, same DNA metabolism

Ears to hear, eyes to see, same desire for what lies within

Sharing interdependence from a distance...

And there is no price for indispensable members

All space, all time, so mote it be, our hearts won't die

Transcend all limiting definitions

Yes, it's the highest good, the good of all, according to free will

Thus harming none, thus growing, thus harvesting

Thus breathing without viral-filters

An end to isolation, nears imagination, open with kindness

We're all together in this realization

The world unfurls for us, unlimited united nations...

Safely, all heroic first-responders, nurses, farmers, grocery workers and food-train drivers

Safely, all scientists, doctors, governors, friends and family who fight the virus

Safely, all news media, musicians, writers, artists, comedians and morale-boosters

Safely, all quarantined, banging pots, zooming and playing instruments through this crisis

We exist, we thrive, all space and all time

Illumination of all that we find

Within our cells, within our deepest wells
