The Craziest Time In Istanbul

We had the craziest time in Istanbul We were stuck for three months during the ongoing Pandemic The bustling city lost it’s rhythm and rhyme Like a heart that misses a beat one day at that time The streets grew empty the Café’s were shut The people were few and the weekends were curfew There was no Funicular to greet me. Hotels were shutting one after another We changed eight different ones till it was time to go We were lucky and chose to stay in front of the Bosphorus Sea once more This was a blessing and a clincher for me. My companions now were the gulls And the different ships and hulls And the best of all was the wide open sea. We would walk the promenade And keep ourselves fit so that the virus doesn’t give us a hit. The sea was our guide and friend When we felt lost then To our utter delight one day we saw Dolphins swimming in the sea From that moment I knew nature was the truest companion who stood by me We braved it all and came home safe to Our beautiful family.
