COVID times

 Hiding in my house.

Growing like a weed.

Like an alien plant from some planet

which grew without a seed.


Deserted all the streets.

Vacuumed our masterminds.

The invisible alien hiding

no torch no light can find.


Locked in my room

I miss my human talks. 

This state of quarantine

has taken away my leisure walks.


Looking at the ceiling

House arrest has made me think.

This world needs a reset button

or the end is at its brink,


Listening to my heartbeats

Is the cosmos connecting us all?

Ego, pride, nationality

rotten links get to fall.


The time to think deeper.

The time to ponder the past.

Series of mistakes, unfulfilled commitments.

Nothing ever lasts.


Looking through the open windows

Winds whispered in my ears.

Believe in the power

Someone wants you to overcome your fears.


I opened the door and took off my mask.

devoured the wind like hungry for ages

Felt freedom of 100 birds

The contentment of scrupulous sages.
