Corona means Halo, Hold Fast to That

Don’t you know that words are clues
A statement of the obvious
Hidden in plain sight, which few see?
Marcus Aurelius gives us a hint
Gestalt another
‘First principles:’ Of each particular thing, ask:
What is it in itself, in its own constitution?
What is its causal nature?’
A corona is a ring around sun or moon
A refraction rarely visible to the naked eye
In the god-man (hu-man), it is a halo denoting sanctity
A blessing from the divine
It en-lightens the holy, reflects hallowed ground
If you are thinking nothing good will come now
You are sorely mistaken
In this time of purification, of purging, comes
An awakening of humankind long heralded
In the end, that is what we will see
And finally, we will be thankful
