When all of this is over…

When all of this is over and we reach the other side

How will it be and what will we be?

Perhaps we will see a new world, refreshed and revived?

But ah…. how long do we wait for that spring to arrive?

I wake up every day with hope of a new light to shine

But for days now it has been perpetual twilight, the Sun doesn’t  rise.

As if happiness and the happenings are walking on two non-intersecting lines

But hope keeps tugging, it never dies.

Sitting in the comfort of my home staring out the bay window

Something I would have yearned otherwise

I long a long hike and sunburns that I can’t hide

I ache to touch the wet sand on the sea side.

Amongst the chaos of the old town on a windy day

I want to step in the cozy café and sit in a corner with my latte

Go on a long drive for a weekend getaway

How I wish to go camping or lakeside picnic date.

Let this all end, let the Sun rise
The night has been so dark, let the new light shine
When all of this is over…

I want a chance to live once more

I want to hold my dear ones closer …

And create new memories to cherish some more.
