A2Z April Challenge T is for Tomorrow

T is for Tomorrow

Corona was just a drink
We enjoyed with a lime
Now it has different meaning
A virus of deadly brand

Black and white is my life
with little tones of grey
The colors red blue green
Are missing nowadays

Nobody knocks on door
No reason to visit a friend
Money tucked away in the depth of lockers
No reason to spend
Except
On daily butter and bread

I look at my 2020 planner
Zero entry for passing days
Normally
Days were alert
From Sundays to Saturdays

Plans for each day checked
Lunch parties with friends
Exploring new restaurants
A visit to a work stations
To give a helping hand
A random movie outing with Popcorn and Samosa for first day first show
An instant plan to go for a weekend to an resort out of town
Random visits to
Book- reading club
Book launches
Read-meets
Culinary club
Laughing club
Poetry club
A visit to an art gallery
Or enjoy a music show
A ride in a local train
Or Ola
Or Uber
or even in red bus
On lazy days, I would Paint
Sing
Or simply walk by the beach

Now there is just internet
Social distancing
The norm of the day
The life I had
Fades in fear
My world is crashing down
In the chaos
In silence

Busy I am
In new routine
Enclosed in matchbox
Telling that I am safe inside
Death toll grows
Outside my home
I stay awake all hours
Fighting dreams and sleep

Corona
You have messed up my life
Never can I take life for granted again
Today is the day
I live each day
For tomorrow
I cannot plan
