Day-11 OctPoWriMo-2020
Prompt: Muse
Form : Free Verse
A pandemic
Crossed path unannounced
And life went haywire
Not ready to accept the change
The mind played games
And finally surrendered
To the new normal phase.
Went through bouts
Of loneliness and self loathe
Struggled to find some semblance
In the unwanted chaos
Moving through the darkness
Tried to find some hope
In people and sundry things
Alas! Nothing worked!
And then the miracle happened
The muse came knocking
One fine morning
With loads of blessings
A few bulbs of life in a box
Sheltered in the dark
Waiting eagerly to see the light
I took them tenderly in my hands
And placed in their home
Where they bloom
As if they are born free
Glowing in their freedom
I live and find peace
In the little moments
Watching them standing tall
Giving me hope to stay strong
I know I will heal
Once they start flowering
And their fragrance spreads
In every corner of the house.
My mornings are blessed
In the company of my verdant muse.

How wonderful! Writing has really helped during the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a catch 22 situation for me.The mood swings are real soul crushers.And the writer block is creating havoc with the body and mind.
DeleteAlthough I am given to self-loathing, this pandemic didn't do that. I'm an introvert in any case. However, trying to grow plants probably would kindle self-loathing, because I have a black thumb.

We all have our flaws, Cie. This pandemic has been a life changer. I found solace in the greens. Otherwise life has come to a standstill.
