Covid - one nine, nineteen
as deadly as it is
has given me,
ironically,
some time to live
some more time to grasp
onto things,
I had started doing
as a teen,
but gave up on
as I grew older,
busier,
tireder;
Covid - one nine, nineteen
has made me
get in touch
with the books
I had abandoned
& the people
I had shunned;
I’ve been spending more time now
with my family
& most importantly
myself, merrily;
I’ve been writing more than ever,
& have also
started to learn
a new hobby,
cooking,
which was once
my biggest terror,
never had I imagined,
it would take me
a pandemic,
to rejuvenate
the person in me
& cherish life
more than I had ever
perceived;
Covid - one nine, nineteen
I’ve learnt enough now
you may leave,
for my people are in danger
yet, we are together
& with this
a new found unity
in conjunction,
we weave.
