that turned out a
weakened virus
to save a million

knowledge hidden
behind each of them
once corrected the

so much easier
and stronger like
a weakened virus
that could take on
the stronger ones
for immunity to work
in the sky of every
lesson learnt from mistakes
is that luminuous light that
streaks across the mind to
hold us in delight
there is always so much to gain
from a fearsome storm
the crisp, cool and appetising air
that cleanses the lungs
