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

Your Child Needs Music (119 Songs & Rhymes in English) | Galilee Grandma We always listen to music in the car. She seems to always have a favorite song she wants to hear. It used to be nursery rhymes. This past year, however, she had advanced to Beatles songs: "Yellow Submarine" and most recently "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"!! Yesterday she totally floored me when she asked for .... wait for it..... K-POP!!!! WTF???? I couldn't believe my ears. Did she really just ask for K-POP?????? Sheesh - remember how I was mocked over the years when I became a fan and then an addict of K-Pop (music, dramas, movies) and finally ended up by some fl...
