Quarantine

As the day goes by,

My mind went to the days that gone by.

Those days when freedom is freely given,

For those multiple options are now gone

Instead we are given only one.

How we are caged with this cage-less prison

Tied to our own without any reason.

The reason being tied to some few

Only to endure this time that we had

Doubting when this will end.

Hoping to cope up with the sanity 

Of our world getting smaller and smaller

Into the confines of our own little reality

Expanding our imagination

To the point of limited possibilities.

Hoping to reach out every single life like our own.

Makes me think of the struggles we've all faced during this pandemic and trying to quarantine ourselves. It's hard. I'm glad to be fully vaccinated and my grandchildren (that I'm raising) are too. So we can socialize more.

Glad you did your part. Thank you Shelly for the review

yeah there's always pros and cons in every situation.
no time to socialize outsize but more time for the ourselves and our family.
