My Journey of 2021

Twenty-twenty went for a toss

Like twenty-twenty match

Without bowling a single ball         

Twenty-one gave hope and excitement,

With the vaccines around

To contain the corvid virus           

Lockdown put me down again,

With shattered dreams and hopes 

With work and homework all the time       

Caught in the web,

Became virtual except for the mask,

Even the phone fails to recognize.            

As year-end came

Tensions gave way to rays of hope

To emerge from this tunnel soon
