Just A Thought-Covid-19 Poem by Loke Kok yee

Just a Thought-Covid-19

From whence it came
This unseen foe
That won't be tamed
With death to sow
Yet comes the morn
The sun will rise
With warmth adorn
All nature's prize

The flora bloomed
With sheer delight
Without the gloom
Of Mankind's plight

And worms will creep
Thru burrows made
As mortals weep
O'er farewells bade

In mating rites
Mayflies still dance
To scorn the blight
With arrogance

Yet birds will sing
To woo a mate
Whilst loud bells ring
A mourning date

Waters teeming
Where fish are found
But we're grieving
With death abound

As earth rejoiced
Each passing day
Anguished Man voiced
Their grim dismay

And we distressed
As Nature thrives
With fear possessed
While Earth revives

Can this in sooth
Be Nature's sign
A test forsooth
Perhaps divine
With less the ruth
To toe the line
A painful truth
To realign
