POEM | The first lockdown after-wave

in The Ink Well4 years ago

Hello to The Ink Well community!

First of all, I have never posted in this community up until now. I have subscribed a while ago as I sometimes feel the need to write poetry or fiction stories. I'm not a professional poet so please bear with me if I make very stupid mistakes in my writing. I just write down what rolls out of my mind and if I think it sounds ok, like in this case, I want to share it. Normally, I share it with my friends or boyfriend only, but let's see how I feel when sharing it with a community of (probably) some real pro poets. Maybe I get roasted, it's a chance I have to take, right?

I wrote the poem below today:

Drips and drops
Keep falling down
In a continuous pace
I keep hearing the sound

At first, the sound annoyed me
Because I was stressed to the max
Now, things have calmed down
And I can feel more relaxed

The lockdown has unfolded the stressful part inside of me
Everyone was at home, while I just wanted to work
I could not find the inner peace
But finally, my requests have been heard

Today, I call this my office
Rather than looking at my boyfriend working in here
I have been so productive this week
I want to continue this pace for the rest of the year

Today starts with a cup of coffee
Just like any other day
The to-do-lists get shorter and shorter
So I’m feeling quite ok

While tasks get done
My mind is slowly finding peace
The lately so chaotic thoughts in there
Are slowly departing from me

I say goodbye
To the first lockdown after-wave
It took me quite some time
But this productive mind is here to stay!

Maybe others can relate to it, but I feel so happy that my kiddo is now at school again, meaning my partner is bringing and picking her up as well (her school is near his office). It suddenly gives me a full week of time for me to work. I have missed this so much, the past months (thanks to the pandemic) have constantly been like this: all at home, no real space to ourselves and during business hours I could never work properly as I can currently, meaning I felt quite useless. Now, I feel productive again, yes!

I had to share it with the world as I really enjoy feeling this productive. Thanks for the opportunity to share it in this community, this writing has also been the very first writing I have been able to do all week after running a lot of errands and planning stuff for next week.

Have a great day, and thanks for reading :)

Simple thoughts, simple words, simple writing yet somewhat beautiful impact on the brain. Sometimes, we do need to just let ourselves go with the wind.
