Life On A Pause

The clock is ticking, but time doesn’t pass

The heart is beating, o’ so fast

Looks like someone has pressed the pause button,

Life stays still, but the hope lives on... 

The plans we made never took off

They stay safe, somewhere up in the loft

In the hope that this crisis would end soon

We pack our bags to fly out of our cocoon

The sorrows of yesterday are long forgotten

Buried in the past, some burnt-some rotten

This new found life has its charm

Feels disruptive, and yet so calm.

Now I hear the sound of music

The beauty of silence is playing a trick 

This is what I was missing for a while

The beauty of nature in its style

Still, some things haven’t changed a bit

My mother’s love and my father’s wit

Just as the sun rises each day

And the stars adorn the sky far far away

It feels good to be home at last

Making up for all the times we lost

While I wait for this time to pass,

I pray for somethings from today to last.
