The Celestial Music of
COVID-19
I sensed it unexpectedly while
talking
with my love this morning, a
feeling,
an insight born of this global
pandemic
that’s terrifying the whole world.
“It’s in the air,” I said,
grasping it with
my poet’s mind, a sound I
never heard
before, a new octave higher
than any
music the world has ever known.
A sound of restive peace, a
quietude
of healing that no earthly orchestra
could conceive, and I said to
my love,
“It’s the celestial music of COVID-19.”
And I knew that the world will
one day
relish in this new octave of
higher being,
born in the womb of COVID-19, as
we
painfully entrain with life’s
divine
purpose of harmonious living.
