An evening in quarantine

                                                  

This Quarantine I decided to make time for self

I ventured out from the four walls into the sea of self-promoting thoughts

I walked on the terrace, thinking to make my every step count in life

I kept walking feeling the cement floor with my bare feet, stabilizing my presence on this earth

I gazed at the plants dancing to the tunes of the breeze sometimes tough sometimes soft, but still impregnable

I looked up at the sky, sometimes blue sometimes gray, but always alluring 

I am amused by the discipline of the birds that fly with an absolutely splendid coordination

I let the gush of wind brush my hair across my face

I flip through the pages of my book, take a sip of my tea 

Then I realize the lessons nature teach  is beyond any books

I put down the book and started to breathe the beauty of nature 

Embracing this feeling of unreality, I returned back to my daily reality.
