HOUSE ARREST

Are we really safe
Amidst this attack on our health
The whole world is afflicted
This malady can't be stopped
With all our wealth.

We have forgotten to breathe
We are all in masks
Cannot go out in the open
And shake each others hand
When will this end we ask.

We cannot visit our family or friends
Cannot hug each other
In this hour of strife
We are forced to stay at home
We are in house arrest.

We are incarcerated
In solitary confinement
Detained in our own home
Isolated from all
Hoping for freedom.

Eyes, You have a language of your own Through it all feelings are made known You touch people more than words ever could You are our confidant when we are solitary and alone.

The tunes of his flute Drfting through my window Uplifts my spirit Takes away my distraught Makes me ready to face the world. I run to the window to see him pass As everyday I am surprised to see His thin, old body Weary and bent But his face aglow with the music he plays.
