I miss

The early rise from my cocoon of sleep,

A blurry eyed breakfast and a scheduled time to keep.

A rushed routine, of makeup and hair,

To reach the station with little time to spare.

***

The rhythmic grinding of wheels to track,

My daily nap for the restless insomniac.

Into the city our shuttles go,

Seedlings of opportunities I intend to sow.

***

The daily chores filled with much complaining,

Long, boring classes that are endlessly draining.

Then a warm, hearty lunch in clear Tupperware.

An eye on the time as my mind drifts elsewhere.

***

The clock hits five and then we unite,

Hugs and kisses alongside drinks all night.

Our worries behind us as the sun breathes a sigh,

Chattering plans as we all say goodbye.

***

Home, sweet home and on comes pyjamas,

As I lay down to sleep with no frightful dramas.

A mundane day, like all others seen,

But a day that I miss now I’m in quarantine.

Hello everyone! Man, I am a complete homebody but even this is proving too much for me! These past few weeks have made me miss the long days I used to complain about, and I cannot wait to see familiar faces in person instead of as pixelated images on my screen. I hope you are all doing well and finding ways to entertain yourself, have a great day!
