This week’s post is dedicated to you, wordsmiths! Amidst the chaos and the uncertainty, we only have the comfort of your words. Our body is under a lockdown; the only way to experience the outside world is through your words. Write more — for yourself, for me, for everyone.
Do you feel no one is interested in your words, especially now? I am here to assure you, that I do and I can say it’s true for a million others too.
The streets are empty
our homes are crowded
despair, fear and uncertainty
keeping hope shrouded
A handshake and a hug
A physical connect with the outside world
Is no longer advised or done
Your words:
In bits and bytes,
in print and voice,
bring us together in our isolation
When will it end?
No one knows
Only reassurance is
your words are there
to bring a smile
to help us cope
to make us dream and hope
March forth soldiers!
Protect us,
Distract us,
Engulf us in your words
Now more than ever.
