Even when nerves seize ahold of me like sharp talons or darkness threatens to overwhelm all my senses amid the commotion of a world deep in uncertainty that can stun and tug down even the happiest of spirits I can still glimpse  moments    of relief   and lightness     able to   break up   the terrors                  on the prowl A smile and bob of the head         given by a stranger       passed on the street           just to be friendly     Words of comfort overheard       from parents             to their children           beside emptied shelves      Relatives and friends who        offer to share resources
