They were Healed

This poem was written in 1869, reprinted during the 1918 Pandemic.

It was written in 1869 by Kathleen O'Mara:

And people stayed at home
And books, And listened, And they rested, And did exercises
And made art and played, And learned new ways of being, And stopped and listened, More deeply, Someone meditated, someone prayed, Someone met their shadow
And people began to think differently And people healed.
And in the absence of people who Lived in ignorant ways
Dangerous, meaningless and heartless,
The earth also began to heal And when the ended and
People found themselves, They grieved for the dead
And made new choices, And dreamed of new visions
And created new ways of living, And completely healed the earth
Just as they were healed.
