The Silence of Sundays

 One day, some day, 

when the pandemic is over

and the world is back to normal

I will look back and miss

the quiet of Sundays:

the stillness, the peace,

the leisurely calm, 

the silent streets emptied 

of traffic and pedestrians

but for the odd two-wheeler or two

running an emergency.

The Sundays that kept us at home

from church, our social meetings,

the bells clanging at 10 

in reminder of busier times.


For now, I will bask 

in the soothing winter sunshine

and soak in this quietude.
