A spectacular evening sunset —
One I’d have missed, if I hadn’t been exposed
(Or possibly exposed) to CoVid
And decided to stay home —
Turned the Madrona trees behind me to scarlet;
It seems only fair to share them both
As a testament to the beauty of the day
And the gift of happenstance: as we look back,
Is it not true, that some of the best gifts
We’ve received in life could only have occurred
Because something else more painful
Cleared the way for something new?
And, knowing that, might we resolve,
To treat our future setbacks
As opportunities; harbingers of hope?
