to cheer up those suffering isolation due to the Coronavirus Pandemic

L O C K  D O W N

Yes there is fear.

Yes there is isolation.

Yes there is panic buying.

Yes there is sickness.

Yes there is even death.

But,

They say that in Wuhan after so many years of noise 

You can hear the birds again.

They say that after just a few weeks of quiet

The sky is no longer thick with fumes

But blue and grey and clear.

They say that in the streets of Assisi

People are singing to each other

across the empty squares,

keeping their windows open

so that those who are alone

may hear the sounds of family around them.

They say that a hotel in the West of Ireland

is offering free meals and delivery to the housebound.

Today a young woman I know 

is busy spreading fliers with her number 

through the neighbourhood 

so that elders may have someone to call on.

Today Churches, Synagogues, Mosques and Temples 

are preparing to welcome and shelter the homeless,

the sick, the weary.

All over the world people are looking at their neighbours

in a new way.

All over the world people are awake to a new reality

To how big we really are.

To how little control we really have.

To what really matters.

To Love.

So we pray and we remember that:

Yes there is fear.

but there does not have to be hate.

Yes there is isolation

but there does not have to be loneliness.

Yes there is panic buying

but there does not have to be meanness.

Yes there is sickness

but there does not have to be disease of the Soul.

Yes there is even death

but there can always be a rebirth of Love.

Wake up to the choices you make as to how to live now.

Today, breathe.

Listen, behind the factory noises of your panic

The birds are singing again

The sky is clearing

Spring is coming

And we are always encompassed by Love.

Open the window of your Soul

And though you may not be able

to touch across the empty square

Sing.

Brother Richard Hendrick, a Capuchin Friar based

in Dublin, wrote the poem in response to the ‘Lockdown’

imposed by the Government in Ireland to combat the threat

posed by the Coronavirus Pandemic
