When a virus hit and the world had to be locked down in 2020 i had wriiten a post which i want to share again today with few more thoughts added.
****
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 be thankful for my health ?
****
Hungry stomach and Zero money ,
Some people 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 for my food ?
****
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 to the Nature?
****
No urge to shop , no online food
No househelp for looking forward to.
I am knowing myself from near
The lockdown is becoming a life lesson too .
‘Living with less’ is the skill
I would always like to adhere to.
****
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 becoming my meditation
which helps me bear the fears
& keep my little heart clear .
Shouldn't i be thankful for my innate ability of art ?
****
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 !
Shouldn't i feel thankful for my Belief in the Divine Power ?
I am sharing this post as part of #BlogchatterA2Z month long writing challenge
It was a painful period - two years of the pandemic. The survivors have a lot to be thankful for. Your lines remind us of that.
ReplyDeleteA difficult period of fear and isolation for everyone. It was a nightmare situation and we are all thankful to have lived another day…
