Run and pray

​I had this spiritual moment when Covid times took place
I woke up and said tghe words: ‘carp dieme’ 
Despite the uncertainty, it was easier back then.

We isolated and weren’t able to be near each other
On minute we were hugging and the next 2 metres apart, 
These times were unprecedented, as this was an unusual new start. 

I prayed during a run
Despite the pain, it was so beautiful in fact, 
Pushing the body as concerns came around 
Struggles to the mind, in which we all thought… I found.

It seemed such a long time ago when these took place
Struggling to find an answer to these distancing times,
People were angst with the speed we seamlessly exude
We can’t forget the past in this form, as I gently conclude. 

Even though I missed that run in the park, which brought me so much joy
I am simply reminiscing and trying my best,
I pray that we won’t return to these times, as the systems out there were a mess.

“Post Covid times…  my run in the park that kept me sane.”
