COVID DAZE
c 2020 by Ann R. Silverman-Limor aka Rahel
My guitar sits silent by the wall
Wrapped safely in black
To protect it from the outside elements
While I sit silent in my little studio apartment
Protecting myself from the outside evils
That may or may not exist in reality
Covid daze
An entire year has passed in hiding
In fear
In uncertainty
AN ENTIRE YEAR
Living less and less alive
More and more isolated
Each day another restriction handed down
Each day another freedom stolen from us
Each day more alone than the last
Each day more lonely than the last
With no apparent end in sight
Shall we remain locked up, locked down, locked in, locked away
Or shall we finally stand up and say NO MORE
Is it time to give up or is it time to fight back
Is it time to defy those who claim to know better
And so rule over us
Some will pray while others lose faith
Some hang on while others lose life
Is this worldly plan made by G-d
Or by man
Will my guitar strings vibrate again
To bring forth songs of joy after years of yearning
The sun shines brightly through my window
A soothing moment
A warm ray
A ray of hope
That the world outside still wants to shine
It's up to me
It's up to you
To say NO to the big guy
Say YES to life
Say NO to struggle
Say NO to strife
CHOOSE LIFE
Covid daze

I've always been curious about collaborating with visual artists. This "dream" came true at a Music/Art concert at the Marcel Janco-Dada museum. I played my collection of songs from my TIKKUN album while artists created their work. It was a good experience for the artists and the audience. I even received a few portraits from audience members! Enjoy a musical tour of Ein Hod Artist Village as you watch and listen!

The year is 2011. I was living and performing in New Hampshire. This is a "LIVE" performance at the JAM FACTORY in Manchester produced by Sadi Khan. THE GIFT won me second place at the AACI Songwriting Competition in Israel in 1997.
