Life Goes On, by Nelson D Reyes

Life Goes On

Soliloquy

Life Goes On

Soliloquy

And the day

Is done

Sweet lullaby

Now come

A night

To dream of morrow

Hoping

A day of no sorrow

We wake up

Smile

We repeat

Day again done

Lullaby upon

Dream of morrow

Of no sorrow

A day of happiness

Not any gloominess

A glorious day

Heart kept not stray

We repeat we wake up life goes on

Smile like before and we carry on

A sky clearly cerulean blue gorgeous

Inviting but alas it seems roguish

A day in the life outside the bubble

Yes certainly there is fear and trouble

Wake up
Wash up get ready
Go to work 8am
Locked up in office for nine hours
Home at 5pm
Dinner at 6
TV till 10
Sleep

Repeat... for five days

Still better than alternative. Housebound 24/7 if not working.

Roll with the punches and get up when floored. Continue to shuffle.

You summed up the lot of the whole human race in this poem, Nelson. We get through the day, make our choices, and fall asleep in hopes for a better day tomorrow. I have been feeling this monotony keenly this year. You nailed it.

Thank you for the like Olga.
It was a routine new year’s Eve 2020 celebration, nothing surreal expected. The world had a grand time, fireworks and all. Voila! We ended up sheltered in bubbles and arguing about wearing masks. We remain scared and rightfully so.
Uncertain times beget all kinds of fears. 2020 certainly is a Salvador Dali’s camembert. We all want to return to the safety of the world we knew prior even if only in dreams.
Thanks again for your visit and kind words. Lucky am i to have met a new friend.

Nice poem, Nelson.

Thanks Robert.
Makes you wonder what wiped out our extinct human species cousins. Nothing they could have done except being perplexed and accept. Certainly as humans with inherent compassion they grieved as well.
