New Life

All of a sudden it’s
silent,
A world with no people,
An abandoned nest.
Now everything is different,
people are scared.
Everyone waits for the next step.
Empty shelves line the supermarket,
clocks tick too slow.
Calendars, stuck on March.
Thoughts take over.
Dishes piled high, plead
to be washed.
No one knows what
happens next.
