I Dream To Be Normal Again!!!!

For many of us, living in a COVID-19 world feels as if we have been thrown into an alternative reality. We live day and night inside the same walls. We fear touching groceries that arrive at our doorstep. If we venture outside, we wear masks and carry Sanitizers and we get anxious if we pass someone who is not wearing one. We have trouble discerning faces. 

It’s like living in a nightmare!

COVID-19 has altered our dream worlds, too:

Everything feels now overwhelming & unbelievable 

The things which we took for granted 

Now seems drained away from our lives

Every day I dream of:- 

Going back to normal routine 

Where my mornings full of tasks umpteen

Kids yearning to go to school 

Lil’one enjoys in playschool 

Getting ready for work 

spending time to make - up 

For the office meetings 

wearing my best formal dress 

Dream to party & have fun with friends.

My heels which have gathered dust

Let’s take them out for a stroll 

Take out the suitcase and pack for a journey

Board the flight which are now empty 

No more isolation, I want back the social interaction 

After the tiring day at work

In the car, humming the song in the traffic stuck 

An evening stroll in the park 

Sparking up the funny conversations 

With friendly dog owner or the neighbours 

Seeing the same people in the Zumba class

Experience the weekend dinners or 

a drive to scenery change 

Sundays being in a crowded cinema 

So many eyes & smiles exchange 

Attending the milestones functions 

Be it a wedding or a birthday celebrations

It’s all the normal life chores, I every day miss

I dream to have them back with pure bliss!!!!!
