THIS SUMMER WAS DIFFERENT
This Summer was different
Not that the sun lessened its heat
Not that the hot winds stopped blowing
Not that dawn started appearing earlier than normal
Not that the days seemed longer and nights shorter
Rather , the plants around seemed to be greener
The early morning air appeared fresher
The chirping of the birds sounded merrier
The dancing of the peacock looked fancier
Blooming of the flowers looked flamboyanter
Nature truly appeared adorned in beautification
Just like the landscape of the painter dipped in perfect colors of harmony
The flora and fauna breathing life fresh and clean
Ecstasy prevailing all around in the screen
But the evolved intelligent genre seemed to be tucked in
The four walls, the TV screen, the digital device was all it could live with in
The visit to granny's house was not there
Nor was uncle aunt's visit to the kid's abode
No hill station visits, no sea beaches to revisit
No meetings with kith and kin
As social distancing has been the only meme
Time seemed to have taken a pause
With only masks, gloves, sanitizers and the frequent hand wash
Uncertainty prevailing all around
Digitalization taking troll in every ground
Mankind seemed to be living upside down
And Nature glowing with sunshine and beam.
