How Can This Be?

I feel alone today,
disconnected and afraid,
all by myself
in this wondrous world.
How can this be?

Today amidst sunshine
and a fresh warming breeze,
alone among the trees,
I breathe a soft prayer:
how can this be?

I watch the news,
as healers and companions
wait for good news,
I listen, breathe and pray:
how can this be?

Today the clouds lift,
yes, beauty returns,
as I once again ask,
tell me, please tell,
how can this be?
