Butterfly wings have left me and gone ... gone.
Uphill I flew wearing, beautiful wings;
Through the thicket, and green pastoral lawn,
Through the rice fields, I flew, tuning soul's strings.
Every grass and leaf felt strings of my soul,
Rhythm of my gentle soul, touches and sighs,
For we lived in harmony with one goal:
Living unto our last breath as allies.
Yet, we lost our bond for I had to leave,
We had to say “Bye!” to each, and I left,
Isolating my friends and here, I grieve,
Night and day, alone, for this dreadful theft.
Good friends in nature as children we find,
So sorry, with growth, we leave all behind.

G-ood health of the humankind
A-voids the lethal link;
I-solating the ferocious flu,
U-ntil the dirt and grime
S-ink.
V-irus spares the man of good health,
A-ttacking the vulnerablebody;
L-eaving him grasping for breath,
E-mploying the menace's mystery.
R-emaining in good health
I-s important for survival;
U-sing the proper hygiene
S-urely keeps one from hospital.
C-leanliness and good health
A-re a pandemic protocol;
T-he horrendous hazard is placed
U-nder the combatant's control.
L-ifestyle in new normal
L-argely ends the sporadic stealth;
U-nknown killer in silence
S-urrenders to good health.
