So many days in solitude
So many days alone
Can only talk on SKYPE and ZOOM
Can only speak on the phone

I miss my social time with others
As we shared our hopes and dreams
Thought things would always be the same
And now life has changed, so it seems

My thoughts are wobbly
Don’t know what’s in store
Things couldn’t go on
As they were before

So changes are made
From the way life has been
More sensitive to
What has been unseen

We need to take care of
The Earth on which we thrive
Begin to understand
That love is prescribed

Until we make changes
Things will stay as they are
Unhappy and joyless
Was the old life on par

But now after being
Kept inside for so long
Our thinking has changed
From what was so wrong

Living in harmony
Is the way to go
Love compassion acceptance
Is the only way to grow

Into a new society
Where we embrace
All that’s same all that’s different
With love and with grace
