Coronation is a poem written and shared by Maryam H. Viqar to The Ugly Writers for the theme Pandemic this month of April.
CORONATION
Escape somewhere far, deep in the warm shades
Of welcoming woods where life never fades
But transforms into a Dandelion
liberated, transcendental, divine
Away by the happily flowing stream
Where twittering song birds from last night’s dream
Chase butterflies, flying high to the skies
where beauty atlast keeps her lustrous eyes*
The sun warm, patient keeps looking downwards
To see sheeps and goats’ frothy cloud-like herds
Here I am, within my walls, quarantined
Never for this we were ever destined
Bleak, but with imagination I see
All else stands pale, still and stale around me
In circles set out for a long journey
Tiring, unending… Perhaps unforseen
* In Remembrance ‘Ode To A Nightingale’ by John Keats.
