Pandemic Fears
Tears
Lacs of people infected and lacs of deaths,
Breathlessness and helplessness
is filling the whole world with tears .
A common grave for the ones who left ,
for social distancing not at all matters there.
The pandemic virus is giving many fears.
In this critical time,
God has kept me in good health ,
along with my near and dears.
Shouldn’t I feel thankful ?
Hunger
Hungry stomach and Zero money ,
Walked hundreds of kilometers
to reach their shelter ,
there’s immense panic among the poor.
By HIS grace , I am away
from the worries of hunger,
which many others have to bear.
Shouldn’t I be thankful ?
Nature
Everything is locked down .
And in the silence around,
I do hear pigeon’s coocoo
but never see peacock’s tail quivers,
He just screams in kaakaa ,
as if nature’s future plans he hears.
Birds , Hills or the shapes of clouds
I have the time to appreciate NATURE
when the beauty appears.
Shouldn’t I be thankful ?
Learning
The lockdown is becoming a daily lesson too .
‘Living with less’ is the skill
I would always like to adhere to.
No urge to shop , no online food
No househelp for looking forward to.
Shouldn’t I be thankful
that I am knowing myself from near ?
Art saves me
To maintain social distancing with humans ,
I am moving closer to
watching seeds in my little garden grow .
Drawing ,Reading or Calligraphy ,
The art is helping me
bear the fears & keep my little heart clear .
Shouldn’t I be thankful?
I bow my head
Switch on the TV ,
it daily tells me a risen number .
News of fights and deaths in my country .
My head bows in shame
for the poisoned minds attacking
police , health workers or warriors .
The pandemic virus is giving much stress and fears.
Prayers
In front of my little temple ,
when I sit with closed eyes ,
Countless thoughts come and go .
HE never created religions or boundaries ,
HE just created brains ,
& seeing humans use it for biological war ,
Maybe HE also is feeling stunned
& doubtful of his own creation power .
The pandemic virus is giving many fears .
Praying is the best I can do.
As HE is the LOVE
to whom we all belong .
HE is the ENERGY
who can turn things around !
I started my blog five years ago and my blogging journey during these five years has gone through many twists and turns . I started my blog on self hosted wordpress site , learnt lot many technical aspects like DA , SEO and latram patram .....Blogchatter has been a constant friend ( plus a big support) since then ....I have successfully participated in #BlogchatterA2Z three times .....and wrote two ebooks too during the process . All this was quite exciting you know as I got to understand a bit of creative side of writing , made some new blogger friends , and became a proud AUTHOR of two ebooks . In 2018 my theme was #Astitva where I wrote about various stigmas faced by a woman in our society . In 2019 I wrote under the theme #Prerna where I uploaded some inspirational posts . In 2020 all my blogposts were related to the life of middle aged women (as that was the time I had just stepped into my forties ) . That was the time I came up with the book 'The Silver Lined Mommy'
