Transformational Poetry: Lockdown
by Liam
It’s not only about me
It’s about the new way, we are
What happened then in isolation
Also touched a part of me
Transforming it too
We were all affected
Although not all infected
That invisible threat drove the wedge
Driving each individual into the lockdown of quiet Isolation
The world of everything
Reduced to a universe alone
This enormously empty space
Occupied me a while, slowing down
It took time getting used to this pace
Me within the warm rooms of aloneness
It’s the silence which opens the windows
Insights inside the mind
Letting in the light
Letting me understand
Letting me reach out
Away from self to hear
The echo, of the echo
Of peace within
For we all are in this together
Together this world becomes more beautiful
Moving in unison toward the ring of our soul
Not heard, but felt by the spirit.
