You’re six feet from your closest friend
wondering how this all will end
I wish that I coud tell you what to do
A simple poem is all I have for you
You’re all alone in your bedroom
The clock ticks past, you meet on Zoom
You look at them but don’t know what to say
A simple prayer is all I have to pray
We wonder how much time we’ve got
And how much cash to spend, or not
Your records and your movies overplayed
A simple quiet heartbeat takes the stage
Listen to its gentle tone
Remembering we all are one
We joy and suffer, hidden and displayed
We work to love this life that feels
delayed…
