Nature’s Hour

Published on by Harpreet ChhachhiaLeave a comment

Who knew that lungs were important?
We talk of the heart and the brain;
But when COVID comes saying hello,
Breathlessness brings classic pain.

I have met gasps in anxiety,
Allergies and spasms are usual shits;
But! COVID is different altogether!
It brings into lungs dangerous fits!

Fevers rise, lungs collapse, breath stops;
You think it’ll pass in a week or two;
But that’s not exactly how this ball drops –
Newer strains are birthing to claim you!

Governments flounder under their weight!
Nations are rocked by their sheer power!
Nature has decided she has had enough!
She has decided that this will be her hour!

Sympathy

Published on by Harpreet ChhachhiaLeave a comment

People have their own lives,

Updates become a due,

Death cuts down all time,

Then time must move on, too.

Offers of help get quieter,

(Thankfully in a way):

Sympathy visits for moments

It doesn’t intend to stay.

In the end, it’s always you,

While everyone falls asleep;

You lie awake and breathe

And dread to dream too deep.

Those Who Feel

When life is hardest hit,

You see with empty eyes,

You see life falter,

You watch, as it dies…

You look around in pain,

Through opaque ground glass,

Others say, it’s just time,

Yet, it does not pass!

As life lays dying,

You are well aware

Of those who feel

And choose to be there.
