Jounrey through lockdown



A Sudden Stop,

Life came to a Halt 

Compelled to stay within 

Our cages were shut and locked 


The world deflated to a window view 

Time began to stale and nothing seemed new 

Death was stinking  on the news 


The Silence, a vicious Mockingbird 

My sob stories loneliness patiently heard 

Merging circles into circles , words into word 


One morning the Robin songs were waking me up

The Whirring Breeze was shaking me up

Nature’s conspiracy was working me up 


Outwitting lethargy it was time to let loose 

I jazzed up the jazz, sang along the tunes

I was my own solace, perhaps my own muse 


Outstretching my wings to tackle the skies 

Bliss taught me how to smile whenever despondencies arrived 

Depression had to flee  the building 

It was HOPE that kept me ALIVE
