Corona Poem 6 - ?

by Judith Felsen, Ph.D.

I burn brightly
In the night 
I am 
A compass
In the day a source 
Of life
I can’t be seen
But ever felt
A sense 
A call 
A memory
A prayer
I am in heart and mind
Of all
I never die

I am 
Hope.

Corona Poem 5 - Corona Love/Fear

By Judith Felsen, Ph.D.

Corona love woke me from a dream 
I dreamt a while ago
now becoming real
anticipation of a world to be
incapable of life
Corona love, a nightmare
prophesy, projection of our ills 
lover’s warning
of impending truth 
reminding that existence is of one
virus,  people
world, one life 

Corona intervention cries for
waking up, releasing, letting go
11th plague 
this scourge demands 
no lamb’s blood,
rather our compassion 
smeared on every heart
forgiveness, every mind
connection, every being
that our doorposts bear
the mark of our awakening…

we lost our senses
now returned
we enter Sinai with atonement’s gold
making our commitments new commandments 
quarantine well spent
saving lives 
not for another golden calf 
but global grace instead

Partnered with Corona, our conscious bringing lover
we are one planet now
awakened to our unity 
where all is love.

Covid Poem 4 - Corona Awakening

by Judith Felsen, Ph.D.

Covid has awakened me
releasing  life before,
a bridge of consciousness, 
transit to a world unknown
pathway unfamiliar yet inviting,
mind has changed
perception of the world anew
one virus ended history
one choice creates our future
a world as one impacted
in unity, connected will survive

One virus ended life before
one consciousness is our tomorrow.

Covid Poem 3 - Corona

by Judith Felsen, Ph.D.

Corona changed me
wracked my mind
wrenched out snarls
space for awareness
presence of that which exists
and that which can’t be changed
awareness now identity
apart from form and self
corona heightens essence
leaving fears and thoughts behind
a world perceived anew 
is not a fearful place but 
presence for a consciousness 
where peace presides 
in life and
never dies
