DOEL
You see blue unblemished skies
I see streaks 1of blood marring it
You breathe pure air tinged with the fragrance of jasmine
I inhale the odor of putrid bodies left in open graves
You hear the soothing melody of some nameless bird
I hear the heart wrenching weeping of inconsolable orphans
We have woken up to a world
So different from yesterday’s
So different from each other’s
(Written on hearing the news of death of my friend’s husband to COVID)
Good one Doel! This world is full of varied perspectives.
Today my perspective is all black. Just received news of COVID death of an acquaintance.
RIP. 🙏
Deteriorating situation. Hope to see bright days soon.
This is profound & evokes deep emotions. You’ve brilliantly depicted the heartbreaking reality of two contrasting worlds that we live in.
RIP🙏🙏Prayers to get back to the normal soon…. Profound💚💚
Such a poignant, heart wrenching poem. A loss irreparable, a grief inconsolable.
Painful… I too have hearsd of a few of these covid deaths.. Very painful
