Lifeboat 21

Make coffee.

or tea.

(while fussing and musing)

in doom and gloom.

Take your pen

and write your drama.

also weep.

(in a dark room)

Play your sad songs.

(Why should you regret?)

The grave becomes old.

Dig deep.

From toes made of dirt.

(Burrow in earth,

Raise eyes to heaven)

There be Courage.
