IN BETWEEN THE NOTES

The night is full of music
Wind songs in the trees
Waves in many octaves
Crash the icy shore

Clouds are sparse
Temperature is cold
It would be nice to be at peace
But the conditions will not allow

Faith in our creator is helpful
Stories of kindness uplift
Still misery exists and we feel helpless
We can only care for that about us

But evil is worldwide
No letup is on the horizon
Nations at war
Persecution dominates

People are hungry, thirsty and at risk
Truth is hid or not disclosed
The internet has a way of discovery
This makes us wiser

Whoopi Goldberg is angered because
Her opinions don’t count due to age
A minor problem but the armor is chinked
Her concern could be more usefully focused

Discuss her take on the Coronavirus
What she might do if she could
The night music still plays
I am not sinking into despair

Try to understand people’s positions
Listen to their position
Usually it is based on old time politics
The times are new

Definitions must be reassigned
Good solutions to problems are fought against
The idea came from the wrong party
Automatically declared preposterous 

The swamp delights
More money is bound to come
They need the buoyancy
Not every member of either party is involved

There is honesty on both sides
Light will overcome the darkness
It will take time
I am feeling better
