this isn’t the year we wanted

Posted on May 12, 2021 by whimsygizmo

 

nope. 

things cancelled
lives rankled
time tangled 
and all that crazy spin. 

so we begin 
to swallow our dis
-appointments 
and our whys 

and try 
to find our glasses 
at least half 
fooled. 

the only way to cope: 
gulp hope.

    What would it look like to “find our glasses / at least half / fooled?” That is clever, and I’m pretty sure everyone can relate to the sentiment.

    I waver on hope. it sometimes feels like the open sea – and will I ride the big wave coming, or will it swamp me?
