The journey of a
seed starts from soaking it in
water for sometime
The soaked seed needs to
be planted in quality
soil with perfection
Moisture, oxygen
and proper temperature
are required to grow
The roots appear at
first followed by a small plant

The bridge connected
continents as people moved
back and forth each day
But it had been a
year since she crossed over to
meet her special one
Note: As the pandemic keeps going along, there are so many of us who haven’t been able to meet our loved ones for months and years on end.

The positivity rate has rapidly increased as the infection has torn through the country at breakneck speed. There is a huge influx of patients in already full hospitals each day. The rush for beds, for oxygen, for medicines, for food and more has only intensified as people grapple for survival. And then there are so many who don’t make it to a hospital. Some isolate and survive at home while others die before they get that life saving injection or supplemental oxygen. They leave behind grieving families. And in the end, they just end up as a statistic amongst the numerous funeral pyres burning across the city and the country.
It was just the start
of summer but the clouds of
doom came together
Note: It’s gut wrenching to see so many people in India (my home) suffer through this brutal coronavirus wave. Having already lost loved ones, I hope and pray that we all get the courage and strength to get through this.

As the clock ticked by,
the virus returned in a
lethal avatar
Note: For those who thought that they had defeated COVID and it was all a thing of the past, unfortunately with the 2nd / 3rd / 4th waves, the virus has reminded all of us that we are mere mortals.

While her eyes didn’t aid
her, her hands and feet worked in
sync to change her life

While the king had an air about himself
along with an eccentric persona,
his jester was a prankster and a charmer
