In the hush of silent streets, we wandered,
Masked faces hiding whispered fears,
A world paused, yet hearts still pondered,
In the shadow of uncertain years.

Hope clung to the songs of birds,
Through windows cracked and barely open,
Words of love replaced spoken words,
In the silence that left us broken.

Time stretched in endless hours,
Days merged in a quiet trance,
Yet in the darkness, unseen flowers,
Began their hopeful dance.

When the dawn breaks, anew we’ll rise,
Stronger from the trials we’ve faced,
With brighter dreams and clearer skies,
In unity, our fears replaced.
