Pause and Play....

 A disease brought a pause

We stopped, for a cause,

That nobody, who'd suffered,

Was responsible for.

We felt hopeless, though,

In varying measures.

Some lost jobs, incomes

Some lost lives or loved ones.

This 'pause' made us realize

Life is uncertain, with rise and fall

So shower your love on

Friends, family, and closed ones all.

Now, the 'play' phase has come

Big relief for everyone

We are in new normal

Not to be too formal.

We meet virtually, connected

Through unseen waves

Can't touch or smell

But feel the presence.

Let this emotional connection be

More stable, inclusive and strong,

So, this 2020 can be recalled

A year, not too horrible or wrong.
