Rear View
It’s the time
Of the pandemic
People dying
Falling sick
Taking precaution
Indoors everyone
Future, unsure
Present, to endure
Finding solace
Memories race
Bringing cheer
Alas! Not for me,
I fear
Mine, a life violated
Can’t forget
What he did
Future holds
Some promise
Today’s
Ephemeral happiness
Probably,
Tomorrow’s
Permanent bliss
Let the lockdown
Be lifted
Let him
Be gifted
God,
My rear view
Is clouded
With tears
I’ll just
Patiently wait
Till…..
The view ahead clears.
