Within the walls that hold us tight,
We find a world both day and night,
A silent realm where whispers flow,
And time itself begins to slow.
The streets once filled with life and sound,
Now empty echoes all around,
Yet in this stillness we may find,
A chance to ease our troubled mind.
Through windows wide, the sun shines bright,
Casting shadows, soft and light,
A gentle reminder of days gone by,
But also of hope that lifts our sigh.
In solitude, we learn to see,
The beauty in simplicity,
And though apart, our hearts are near,
Finding strength amidst the fear.
