Resilience Personified

Contest entry to Inner Strength contest

Structure as we knew it, is gone with the wind,
A wind that unexpectedly wreaked cyclonic effects.
Our lives have become inundated
With terms like Covid-19, masks,
Social distancing, death counts,
PME’s or the shortage of, hand washing
and repeated disinfecting.
But, amid the chaos,
Heroes have emerged. Normals have changed.
The winds of change have acquiesced to
Necessity, the mother of invention.
And, necessity has again prevailed. We are adapting.
We are revising and restructuring our lives.
Humanity is resilience personified.
