Eyes Alight

Eyes alight exorcize night's unseen sight
bring about lucidity in times of insanity
         claiming chaos
knowledge in a world uncertain.
What, by chance, lead this to happen?

With masks adorned we're never mourned
when warned not've scorned horned
          media beasts
throned through years forewarned ignored.
By leaders we were suborned.

In shelters claustrophobic now breathing
a new day breaking with life re-opening
          gather clauster
rediscover what comes familiar.
Eyes alight exorcize night's unseen sight.

Months thrice-plus-one in foggy simmer
new birth of spring indoor nature through summer
          explosive glimmer
set into ignition by every glance from her.
Eyes alight exorcize night's unseen sight.

Fire new and delicate - flickers of heart
dance intricate paths intwined between minds
          calming chaos
kind eyes set aside COVID worried signs.
Our eyes alight with love in sight banishes the night.
