Artherese

The scenery’s here
And oh, it’s a wonder. 
Why aren’t you? 

You can have cheer
Even with all the fear
Don’t cower
Rather - discover

Amidst all that’s lost 
There’s a path, a toast 
So while you’re at it
By all means, taste.

Relish the beauty --- 
The growth within
From the battles unseen,
The marvel outside
Amidst rising tides.
