In a world paused by unseen hands,
Silence grew in crowded lands.
Whispers of hope in muted streets,
Life’s rhythm in cautious beats.
Windows framed a distant embrace,
Masked faces in a masked race.
Eyes spoke where lips were sealed,
In solitude, hearts revealed.
Nature’s breath, a gentle pause,
Healing paths, without applause.
Time to ponder, time to mend,
A moment to cherish, a chance to bend.
Yet through shadows, light persists,
Unity in the midst of twists.
Together apart, yet strong we stand,
Humanity’s hope, hand in hand.
