Deep Within Me

A beach side run to start the day Waves shoring up high to have their say With a football to toss around and play Sand, shells and pebbles on the way That’s us: Living in our dream home near the beach With the sun-rising ocean within our reach The waves gently drenching the sand Off our feet, pulling away the land Walking together hand in hand In the landscape so scenic and grand That’s us: Living in our dream home near the beach With the sun setting visual within our reach The blowing wind humming a song Our footprints showing the path all along Lying under the celestial sphere nightlong In each other’s arm where we belong That’s us: Living in our dream home near the beach With the moonlit sky within our reach

When the world stayed home, Some felt crowded, some felt alone Some were caressed, some had to moan No one could get out, no one could roam Some wondered from where this virus has flown Some were amazed at the rate of its clone Some were scared with fear of the unknown Some were stitching the social fabric, some found it torn Some realized the uncertainties of life Sharp and dangerous like a knife Some enjoyed their time with kids and wife Some had to face anger, remorse and strife Some decided it’s time for the self to renovate Some felt helpless and continued to deteriorate Some counted losses and cursed their fate Some crossed the calendar dates, waiting for an open gate Someday all this will be over Someday this virus will be sober Someday this risk will be lower One day we will be amongst our friends, colleagues, family and lover Happiness, Kalashree
