Skipping, hopping merrily with a light heart
Cruising on waves of success in a new light
A nimble journey, to be the light in my life
All sweetness and light, this charming sight
Travelling light, invisible, it came up close in a jiffy
And then I saw the inner light, a forewarning
The guiding light that turned positive, pushing blithe to quarantine
Corona made light of the predicament, eclipsing the motion
The light then dawned upon me, impending dooms day
Pandemic presence that lit the fuse in me
The lights out of many lives, in an abyss of misfortune
Light purses and heavy hearts, losses accumulating
I lit into it for not physical distancing the sorrows
Masking the joy, routine, and gathering, I lit a fire
Brute force from the orient was no light relief
Happiness seem to be light years away, the ventilator throbbing
The lights out of every sphere and continent
Or Candlelight, will it flatten the curve?
An avalanche of emotions, in my light
Did He give the green light to lockdown the Universe
It all came to light, crystal clear, apocalypse
Bitter truth that saw the light of the day
I felt light hearted, giddy with the afterthought
Will I ever light upon a novel start?
I go light on it, extend an olive branch
Like a light reaction to life’s photosynthesis
Did I see light at the end of a dark tunnel?
Overbearing thoughts and I was out like a light
Repercussions, tremors, aftershocks felt in broad daylight
Utopia of the year, in fading light, smashed to smithereens
I began to see the light that emerged from the shadows
Glory back in the limelight, renewed with faith
No longer hid my light under the bushel
The ray of light gleaming in stark contrast
That threw light on arcadia with all the joy
I trip the light fantastic like renewed tides on the ocean
Promised land, eureka! the light bulb moment hit me
The symptomatic heart, light as a feather, longing
A light touch, the Midas of vaccine, dexterous moments
That cast light upon an alpha, the green shoots sprouting!
