On this day

 

Many see this time

as a lockdown, an invasion

on our lives,

unimaginable frustrations

 

But for so many

this means despondency

and utter despair, a time

with very little hope and purpose

 

Those less fortunate than us, without

food, family, freedom

No connection

to another soul

 

It is in this moment

that I refuel

on how I

really feel

 

It is on this day

this very instant

I embrace this life

only a few could conjure
