COVID 19 rips through my dreams clawing at my lungs…a virus
sprung from the depths of hell spreading throughout the earth intent on causing
hurt and harm to the inhabitants.
Capturing the unsuspecting…don’t let your guard down in the midst of
harmless fun…camaraderie turn deadly as the sun sinks behind the horizon…COVID
19 the fiend attaches itself between friends lacing itself into spaces and
places of innocence.
Hot sweaty feverish flu like
symptoms captivate the essence of my existence pulsating…quickly distinguishing
itself as COVID 19 the deadly demon stealing my energy…stealing the breath of my
life…stealing muscles that heretofore worked together but are now in pain aching…shaking…shivering…the
brain insane at the loss of cohesive thought. Don’t wear a mask...ignorance
shouts at the top of its voice rejoicing over the number of deaths.
Shades of gray cast gloom throughout the room…the bed saps
strength from my aching bones killing all resolve to evolve back into sanity if
but for a moment…my mind a blank canvas waiting…suddenly words light up the
backdrop “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”[1]…the
brightness illuminates the murky atmosphere…the words invade the sphere of my
soul reminding me of days gone by…and how God has allowed me to fly through
life on the wings of eagles….
“I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord”[2]…his
praises to be shouted everywhere…His joy filling the air…His music touching
hearts…His love giving mankind a brand new start…power is pouring through my
veins…beating the rhythm of life…beating the beat of perseverance…beating the
beat of deliverance…beating the beat of healing….”Heal me O Lord and I shall be
healed…save me O Lord and I shall be saved me… for thou art my praise”[3]…
“Hast thou not known hast thou not heard that the
everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not
neither is weary. There is no searching of his understanding”[4]…Lord
help man…help us to understand the lesson in the demon COVID 19…Lord help us to
love each other like the sisters and brothers you created us to be…Lord help us
to love our neighbor…Lord help us to do good like we should in the midst of a
corrupt and violent world. Lord have mercy on us…
