Pandering to pandemic
Pandemic, stop, lockdown, pause,...
Reload, slowdown, pause,...
Reload, snap lockdown, suspend,...
Reload, vaccination, new lockdown,...
New variant, another lockdown,...
And it goes on and on
This enforced staccato pushed us
To take stock, to dream
Seasons pass also in a slur
Marking the garden
Frost and rain in winter
Heat and drought in summer
What has changed?
Us, truly, deeply
In this adagio era
We have time to see
New green, new shoot,
Pruning, planting,
Nature follows its cycle
We follow its crops
Simple but delightful delights
We’re learning again
What’s important
Living each moment
Enjoying the rewards
As they come
No need to rush
Let each moment exist
Let it pass for it will pass
No other certitude we have.
