Cure for Ennui
Concentrate on the birds,
their ardent singing
and the two fat drops of rain
still clinging to the iron grate
outside your window.
Take a sip of ginger tea
and admire the pluck of the tiny wren
singing the day alive
when it could stay huddled in its nest.
There is remedy even in the rain.
Look how green it has made the leaves
See how the sidewalk shines.
Editor’s Note: Since we live in such interesting times, it is often useful to read a poem that reminds us of how to focus on the precious beauty that exists between disasters.
