Namaste

I stand at a distance

Look into his eyes

Fold my hands

Say with respect

Namaste

At the other side

Stands a man

Smiles back

Folds his hand

Friendly reciprocates

Namaste.

Corona is pandemic.

Spreads on contagion.

Distance is effective.

Old habits are cast aside.

Trend is for no-touch greeting.

La bise is gone

No more cheek kissing

The World is changing.

Hug and shake is of past,

In the days of social distancing.

Namaste going global

As an adorable social happening.

Bows to divinity in others

Whatever precious and interesting.

And shares a respectful feeling.
