QUARANTINE LIFE: THURSDAY THOUGHTS

There are so many things we’ll never know

So much truth we’re never told

It would change all that we’ve ever known

And our ignorance is bliss

What value in transparency 

Making sense of every fallacy 

In the dark’s where no one wants to be

So I would be remiss 

If I didn’t say some things are better left unsaid

Some things do nothing more than multiply our dread

And in a time when good news, big or small

Is like a lovely waterfall 

Why not promote the happiness we know, instead?

There are so many things for which we wait

And loss of patience causes us to speculate 

And mourn not knowing until it’s much too late

But hope remains 

Perhaps we’re at the corner, but when will we turn?

For better, brighter days we pray, and wait, and yearn

But we get anxious, and forget the lessons learned;

Forfeit our gains

But then we start again with grace and urgency

Harness our knowledge and our curiosity 

Laying aside the urge to choose 

Paths troubled minds told us to use

And aim to see

Not to repeat mistakes again
