This is a wonderful poem and I do hope that with all we have been going through with the virus that we will not again take for granted the blessings that we get from God and will honor Him with our lives.

I've been accused of being naive but, like you, I prefer the term "idealistic." I too believe that some good can come out of something so horrible, such as a healthy respect for life that might cause us to be more careful, and more of an understanding of how our actions can affect our environment and the people around us.
I like how each verse carried some form of, if not updraft, per se, then flight of some kind, from the feather floating in the air to to the "birds ... on free wings," to your soaring thoughts, "flights of fancy" and, finally, the updraft. The image you chose is the perfect visual representation of your metaphors.

A very well-written 5-7-5 suite of your observations from a distance about the changes in nature happening while we remain in solitary confinement for the sake of not spreading the virus.

Apt and clever use of healthy distance. Nice rhyme and imagery: land-stranded. Alliteration throughout is always welcome--as are your thoughtful footnotes. Cheers. LIZ

This 5-7-5 suite, A Healthy Distance, has the right set up and finds that we, like free birds, will be able to look back see what and who is here and what we know and care about it all.

I hope with you Lisa! This virus seems never ending at the moment. Thoughts of reopening is at a standstill and so it should be as far as I am concerned. It's going to get more difficult with time if things don't change.

"Out of the ashes." Hope should never be lost and that is prevalent all over our countries during this crushing time. We will not give up, we will make it better in the future, as you declare in your poem.

You are an eternal optimist I think. The great spirit of co-operation appeared during WW1 and disappeared in the maelstrom of the great depression. Back again in WW2 and disappeared with the peace. It is a crisis reaction. So when the crisis is over we will, no doubt, be at each other's throats again.

You have poetically presented a positive spiritual message, creating colorful imagery in metaphor.
Very well penned, my pleasure to have read.
The visual art is well complimenting.

Lisa May,
I love your visual to complement your poem.
I like your optimism that an angel is near, healing the earth. You think many good things about the future.
The whole world shares the same problem, we will survive, and we will always share this pandemic experience. I like your optimism.
