Notes About The Poem

Living under the cloud of Covid 19 

Life On Lockdown

Listen to the pale hushed words without sounds;
Listen to the murmurs of frustration that assault our spirits.

See how they spin crazily in their dire solitude
See how they hang onto the edge of their sanity.
 
I look on as the sun set stillness upon the sky
I see black clouds squeeze out rain.
I touch the earth. It has received its bounty.
And Life begins its quiet chatter once again.

Very well expressed, Allan. There is a constant renewal of nature despite any pandemic + its human impact. Best wishes. Brian
