Rear View

It’s the time
Of the pandemic
People dying
Falling sick
Taking precaution
Indoors everyone
Future, unsure
Present, to endure
Finding solace
Memories race
Bringing cheer
Alas! Not for me, 
I fear
Mine, a life violated
Can’t forget 
What he did
Future holds 
Some promise
Today’s 
Ephemeral happiness 
Probably,
Tomorrow’s 
Permanent bliss
Let the lockdown 
Be lifted
Let him 
Be gifted
God, 
My rear view
Is clouded 
With tears
I’ll just
Patiently wait
Till…..
The view ahead clears.
