Let our footprints be seen 👣

 

 

No more close giggles on benches

No sharing of popcorn in theatres

No warm cuddles - No loving kisses

Neither long nor quick

Just surfing through the Cyber spaces

Typing...

Sending...

Ringing...

Yes,

Love confined  online

 

No more dull lectures in hallways

No secret captures in napping place

No signing sheets - No passing sweets

Neither front nor back

Just staring at screens

Connecting...

Reconnecting...

Ending...

Yes,

Learning confined to digitality

 

No more mass gatherings on viruses

No endless prayer queues witnesses

Nor for births- Nor for deaths

Neither Jesus' nor Buddha's

Just sending wishes on air

Happy Vesak...

Happy Christmas...

Happy hopes...

Yes,

Spirituality confined in the virtuality

 

No more safe breath to breathe 

No crowded feasts to please

No parties- No parleys

Neither weds nor spreads

Just go on virtually

Creations...

Graduations...

Workstations...

Yes,

Nicest places confined to soft copies

 

Life is not the

Same as the past

Diaries are not glowing

Spilling colors of boring

Knock knock knock,

.

.

.

.

.

When will the door open

And let our footprints be seen 👣
