It's a strange time
Updated: Sep 13, 2021
It’s a strange time
A time in which,
doors are shut and curtains are closed
A time in which,
screaming thoughts are silenced by but one worry
A time in which,
the ones we love dearest are for that reason left alone

A time in which,
it is the dogs that walk the people
A time in which,
the most social of creatures hides in private circles
A time in which,
the clock seems to have stopped ticking.
But has it?
It’s a time in which,
the green of the trees slowly fills the streets
A time in which,
the days are blessed with an extra ray of light
A time in which,
colourful flowers decorate the grass in our gardens
and soften the ground,
on which children can play
In the midst of silence
and seeming discontinuity
It’s a time in which,
spring
nevertheless awakens
