The Earth Is Healing

People confined,

never stepping out,

distancing themselves,

confused and scared;

panic in their eyes

like trapped animals in cages.

The price we pay 

for our atrocities,

for our wrongdoings,

  and amidst the 

chaos and confusion

nature starts healing.

The earth starts breathing again,

fresh air flowing

through mountains,

 polluted rivers and oceans.

Burnt forests 

sprouting new leaves!

The earth is healing 

slowly and silently.

Is the pandemic which

wrought havoc everywhere,

nature\'s way of reclaiming

what it has lost?

New life, New hopes!
