Sometimes a Celestial View Required

Sometimes it’s as simple
As it’s wonderful

Lord made us
And Lord loves us

It might not seem that way
In hospitals
Especially in cancer wards
Burn wards
Terminal compartments

But there
Is love
It’s in these places
In the prayers
And in the spirits
That are struggling all
Around

Where angels
Set themselves as well
To listen
Watch
And weep
On assignment

Forsaken
Never
By the ones
Remaining
(and that’s most
of them)
On our side

A war in heaven
Wars on Earth
Extant
Allowed
By a God who loves so much
To keep us on our own
Even though there could be
Cosmic automation

And so there are
The sides
The wings of war that
Transitory fly

Sinless disease
Conditions
Damage
And those fighting all around
For health

Finally
For all the foes
Of war
Of what we cause each other
And
Disease
By what happens
For a reason
Or by anyway

Keep going at it
Kid
Keep going for the healing
And all you
With the kid

In the battle
All the battles
On
After
The battlefields

Stay with
Us
Keep us going toward
All the health available
On this
Side
You know
And
Yes
Perfectly
The other

Rally ‘Round the Crazy

(pandemic time)

Now he’s left

Without a mask to leave behind

Because he didn’t use one

Except the one before the virus

Now he’s left

With those who attended

Learning not to wear masks as well

Now he’s left

The doctors will move in

The people who live there

When at ease

And in pandemics

To do the real work

The brave work

Zottegem, Belgium

After a day of shooting at the Zottegem Hospital for the Belgian TV series “Professor T.” I went back to clean up whatever the props department left. This was the room used in the shots and the machines where still running. It felt like a good opportunity to take a few shots.
