Quarantined New Year
Busy roads filled with heads People storming down the streets Tight work schedules Messy minds No pausing, no hellos Life went on with no halt No smiling, no comments We didn’t know Our own existence Yet, in a split second The whole world stood still People turned back They ran in slow motion We started to understand Our existence We started to feel The reality of it Corona did take many lives At the same time Gave meaning to many souls It taught people About long lost happy days It gave people The long gone caring ways April bloomed Under the watch of a decease April reached To the days of celebration People huddled together With their own Like never before Caring, sharing It’s a disease Yet offered meaning It’s a disease Yet offered love To those broken hearts Binding them together As a family forever No firecrackers for this avurudu The animals are safe No busy streets for this avurudu The nature is safe Flowers bloomed Birds sang Nature rejoiced & A different wind Welcomed us
