Pandemic

The wind brought an echo through time A silent cry a slow deep rhyme Darkness embraced our streets Silence drowned the laughter the beats The world stood still but not our hearts We moved forward though fear played its part Distance taught us to value the unseen What we forgot and what could have been Today the sun rises on a cold morning Life blooms in memories with a quiet warning For every soul that's no longer here A dream rises a hope crystal clear Though the wind took what we held dear And shadows grew heavy with fear Love stands firm it grows it doesn't fall It's the world's spirit never to crawl The echo of their voices turns to light They left lessons that shine so bright Pain transforms into strength into choice Every tear is a seed in the same voice The embrace grows bigger within our hearts For life isn't measured by distance or parts Today the sun rises on a cold morning Life blooms in memories with a quiet warning For every soul that's no longer here A dream rises a hope crystal clear Today after the storm we see once again The world spins it continues and will rise again
