Page 67 - Everyone a Writer Anthology 2021

People stayed home
And rested and exercised and made art as well as playing outside and learned new ways of creativity,
Some people meditated
Some people prayed,
Some people met their shadow
There was dead silence,
The water was as clear as ice
The Earth had a breath,
Even the world was healed
People started started to make a different side of themselves,
Away from family and friends,
Hugs and kisses becomes a dream
Animals started to roam the street
People were hiding inside,
Seeing people became a dream
Face masks were hard to bare,
2 metres was horrible
Shops closed,
We had to queue for supermarkets,
Days were repeating itself
It was all the same,
The word was dead on the outside
But amazing on the inside
The would had a 7 month holiday,
People started to realise that the world was coming back from the dead,
People started to have Zoom parties, great atmosphere
Everyone started to look on the positive side,
And started to realise that we can get out this together
