Out My Window

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



Out My Window

The world outside my window
Looks so fresh and clean today
A late night moonlight shower
Has washed the stain away

We are in the great shutdown
The halting wheels of industry
The abolition of traffic jams
As society holds its breath
The world outside my window
Has delivered a cleansing
A brief but eternal respite
In the deluge of toxicity

Take joy in minor miracles
And understand when this part ends
The ongoing tragedy continues
This is only a warning, friends

The crisis has an end
The war has just begun
