Quarantine Days

It's been quite a while at home

I have been patiently sitting 

in a corner of my room 

with a pen and paper in hand

and a cup of coffee 

to keep me awake

I have been

searching for lost words 

juggling from here to there

if the right one fits my story 

I have been

mending the broken 

sentences of my life 

Rearranging them 

Correcting my mistakes 

And at the end

when alphabets and words 

have found their space 

I turn them into poems 

allow them to breathe 

to live 

to fly

just like those birds 

in the expansive sky 

we wish to be 

right now 

in this quarantine phase
