Wait
We Waited .... The days had never been so balmy and sweet Even though it was spring , our family were together We would eat and drink like royalty There was no shortage of food in that lock-down We waited Playing , running around the garden Picking flowers , juicy fruits We waited --- Mother told us bedtime stories Father trained the dogs with us We waited .... For death , it watched in the periphery Making us wait in anticipation So the days passed in slow motion This wait makes you want everything Happy times , idyllic days , never enough We waited no more The shattering glass reflected the sunlight It refracted , myriad of diamonds flying My last vision remembered as I left My enchanted world © Lalarukh Lasharie
