Calm sleep day
Urban brick
Birdsong, windy leaves
Inexplicable bagpipes
Lift soul brave
Raw harsh demand
Rise, rise and stand
This is life and beauty
Silence
Wind
Leaves
Motorbike engine roar
Every day, a bagpiper stands outside our neighborhood Covid Testing Centre and plays for the people waiting in line. I reckoned this old poem was short, sweet, and perfect for Canada Day 2020.
