where help comes from

Originally written in November of 2020.

I lift my eyes
to that screen
looking and searching
for what I need

"looking up"
while looking down
[the madness of our time]
always at hand
lighting up
where to look
and how to understand

In my distress
I
open it again
when
what can
it really give me
in the end

What if my help comes
from another Light
not my screen
One offers escape
the other
perfect Peace

(cc: psalm 120/121)
