Dishevelled
Dishevelled
Amidst the Covid-19 shambles
Don’t let your spirit go unchecked
There is too much sorrow flowing around
And only a little time to grieve
Our hearts are dishevelled
Our spirit is in turmoil
Our loved ones are gone
With not even a good bye
We will forever miss them
Let’s find time to open our hearts
And find the tentacles of pain and sorrow
Let’s uproot them before they become solid thorns
Inhabiting our inner being
Let’s stretch our hands to our neighbours, friends and colleagues
Wrap them with warmth and comfort
Wipe away their tears with soft napkins of love
It is only the heart of humanity
That can bring healing to those who are grieving
And have lost their beloveds
We cannot afford to let our busy schedules and overthinking minds
To narrate our stories
We need to come together under the tabernacle of hope and love
And address our fears, uncertainties and wishes
We need to sanitize our body, mind and soul
Against dark spiritual forces
That might inhabit our souls
During our most vulnerable time
Let us pray
