Odyssey of Hope During the Pandemic

So what you can’t step out without your mask?

You can still inhale life through your lungs without much task.

So what if you’re stuck in between 4 walls?

You’ve still got a roof to keep yourself warm.

So what if you can’t embrace your loved ones?

You can still see them on the phone placed in your palm.

So what if you can’t go to the mountains and get soaked in the ocean?

You can still get lost in the vastness of the sky and the beauty of the new blossom.

So what if you can’t kiss those lips of your long-distance lover?

You can still feel the taste of their mouth from December!

So what if you can’t devour the street food you love?

Be grateful that you’ve still got food on the table.

We are aware of what a catastrophic this year has been,

But nothing before has shown the real colours of human beings!
