striking the date off with each passing day
birthdays, anniversaries to destination weddings
turning the calendar to the next page and thereon
waiting for the year-end and a new calendar
to enter into the repetitive phase of
ticking the dates again
anniversaries to birthdays
celebrations to mournings
playing like a cinema reel
heart reacting only to the aberrations
alas! in no time reverting to the continuity!
corona came and went
not once but twice
many took it head-on
some survived, few lost to it
survivors wearing the cape of corona warriors
bereaved living with permanent scars
lessons learnt any by bystanders?
Have to wait and watch!
Meanwhile, has corona evolved?
Guess it will exploit
our retrograde amnesia
and catch us incognito
strike us while we are land hunting
or amassing wealth for a luxurious quarantine.
The Corona prognostics,
do they have an answer?
How many times will it strike?
once, twice thrice or endless numbers
Someone, please help us see the light.
Handhold us to the end of this tunnel
Please lead us to the world,
devoid of this uncertainty
into the good old times
when we took everything for granted!
