Dear Muse

Dear Muse, 

Yes!

Now I have time;

  now we can write.

Dear Friends, 

Yes!

Now I have time;

  now we can talk.

Dear Brain, 

Yes!

Now I have time;

  now we can think.

Dear Legs, 

Yes!

Now I have time;

  now we can walk.

Land, waters sky stars,

  I want to embrace you

    as you’ve embraced me.

Dear Birds,

Yes!

Now I have time;

  now we can sing. 

Dear Soul, 

Yes!

Now I have time;

  now we can play.

Dear Back, 

Yes!

Now I have time;

  now we can stretch.

Dear God, 

Yes!

Now I have time;

  now I can pray.

Why does it take a pandemic,

  for us to have the time 

    to be human?
