Take a Deep Breath

by Igorgoldkind

For All of Us


All of us

Not just one of us

But each of us.

Is but a tiny droplet on the face of this world.

Wash your face and wash your hands of

Your fears of this.

 

We will survive

The enemy maybe invisible and has us surrounded,

But we are all of us

Surviving each of us together.

This is how we adapt to survive.

We  all now are refugees fleeing disaster.
