Hello everyone,
Life has brought about a lot changes and this changes has reshaped us. Thank you @bruno-kema for inviting me and also special thanks to the sponsors of this initiative.
So this is my entry for the challenge.

LIFE CHANGES

Life, believe it or not, it has reshaped us;
Life is not dream, its so dark, filled with surprises. Sometimes there are clouds of gloom. But these are just mirage;
Sometimes, it's shower will make us smile, happy or sad, and our hearts glowing or in pain;
O why lament it's fall?

The virus has made us seek refuge and scared of our city;
The virus has disconnected us, from our families and friends. Now we can't smile without our mask on, we can't shake hands without the gloves on;
We're six feet apart.

In all this chaos, beauty lies an arrow to the heart;
Wreaking havoc on my heart. Camouflaged by insecurities and fear, bonded them with pain;
What though death at times would step in. And calls our best away;
What though sorrow seems to win.

Yet hope again and elastic springs;
We found a cure. But does it end it all?
Does the virus have to stay? Would everything come back to normal? It remains unchanged?
Hope is unconquered, through she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings:
Still strong to bear us all.

This poetry was inspired by the events of the lockdown. How life has reshaped us, how the situation has caused a lot of changes in the world. My poem was inspired by those dark and sad days, but we hope for a better/positive results. But till then #STAYSAFE #STAYALIVE

I would love to invite @brittandjosie and @faith65 into this challenge. ❤❤
