November Chapbook Challenge Day 7: Turn, Turn, Turn

 Today's prompt from Robert Lee Brewer: Write a "this time" poem. I initially misread it as just a "time" poem, but what I wrote still seems to fit. It's based, of course, on the Book of Ecclesiastes, and also on a very recent and very significant event in the news.


To Everything
 
time
to heal,
time to sew
 
time
to plant
let things grow
 
time
to build
with new stones
 
time
to knit
our broken bones
 
this new season
rebirth of reason.

Good one. Made me think of the Byrds. And the Bible too, of course.
