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!

Your green eyes are like planets filled with life:

A surreal galaxy of feeling,

Swirling smiles of light and dark flecks of strife,

Constantly hurting, constantly healing.

Your heart wants to be loved as we all do:

A satellite luminous and aglow,

Filled by its waning then waxing anew,

To match life’s existential ebb and flow.

I wish, I wish, I wish your hope shines bright,

As bright as your verdant beautiful eyes;

And I wish whichever place you set your sight

Nothing remains sad and no one regrets sighs.

When all is said and done, let your eyes shine

Make peace with life and you’ll be just fine.
