A couple of crows
Preparing their home
With bare necessities ,
Branches , and anything in sight

They fly to and fro
Up and down ,
Beaks holding
A stick or two for a nest.

I see a ray of Hope as these crows
Prepare for new lives
Despite the silence of
People in lockdown mode .

Is this not a sign from the Master,
Of new life ahead?
Just as the dove held an olive branch
At the end of the great flood ?

Thank you Lord
For your love and compassion
You care for us
And your mercies are endless .
