“A Sunday rain awakes me up today,
Raindrops keeping my sorrows at bay.

Wall around me is now my lockdown friend,
Quarantined me has now learnt to blend.

Found my family that was always at shore,
The lust of wealth is not there anymore.

The loyal companion that is my pet,
Always keeps me cheerful and buoyant.

With the sky so blue and air so clear,
My crony birds singing I can now hear.

And though last but never the least,
My pen, my text, reappears to feast.

Happiness is always there with us right,
In darkness we see that hides in light!”
― Mukesh Kwatra
