Now is not the time !!

 

Now is not the time,

To be a critic,

And criticize everything around,

But to acknowledge what is good.

Now is not the time,

To scold children,

With too much screen time,

But to understand they are at home with no school.

Now is not the time,

To write hate message,

Or troll for a trivial fact,

But to support each other.

Now is not the time,

To Crib, Cry or Sulk,

But to remove it,

From the corner of your eyes and heart.

                    (1)

Now is not the time,

To hoard things for yourself,

But to restrict the usage,

To bare minimum.

Rather, now is the time,

To say a silent prayer,

For each one of us,

So, we can not just survive, 

But thrive on the same.

Looking out..

looking out of window,

from my office's desk,

I can see clouds hanging in the sky,

ready to break apart and fall...



I wish I could go out,

for a walk holding hands,

let the tiny drizzle of water,

brush my face..or kiss my feet.



And listen to a soft track,

from that same diary whose pages..

are kept in some part of eye’s mind..

which you seldom tap into.



or sit in a huge soft chair..

in the balcony of yours..

with a cup of tea and fries...

recollecting people you knew once..



People whose company you enjoyed...

for a minute or for years..

Yet, they all seem to be living..

far far away where you can’t reach...



it brings up that smile back,

on otherwise boring day,

When you look out the windows...

And watch it FALL..at its own pace & will.
