2020 is etched in history as the year Covid-19 stopped the world. Humanity withdrawing into isolation faces restlessness and insights into hidden truths about whom and what directs our lives. We watch and wait for a cure and use seclusion to search for external answers while reevaluating our inner lives.

It finds itself in persistence, tenacity, and faith.
It opens in the face of humiliation, shame, and grace from a stranger.
It becomes a harbor in the unending storm of confusion.
It mellows when a humble heart takes space in gratitude for hardships lessons.
The audacity of survival offers endless hope; knowledge of better days where only its shadow remains.
The sweetness of your smile embraces my being, calming, warming, assuring.
When fears arise, I close my eyes replaying the pose.
Here, harsh intentions fade as a renewal of faith soaks this solitary space.
In your glean vestiges of broken love scatter.
A kindness radiates and murmurs of "breathe" renew my faith.
