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
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
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
This New Year
We sat at home
Silently celebrating
Yet with joy
The hearth awoke
Under the silence
Of noisy firecrackers
Under the absence
Of shouting people
This New Year
We embraced family
This New Year
We embraced nature
What a change
A disease can do
As you and I
We became human
Once more
On this New Year
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

Like never before Caring, sharing
