With Lockdowns and curfew containments
We learnt to live with confinements
Religious fervor and sustainments
Led us to celebrations in subjugations
A silence huge has overtaken us all
Pandemic misery that doth fall
Yet, the spirit must be elated high
For, the good times now are nigh
Easter is here at our doorstep
The prayerful must now step up
Closed may be the churches for us
Yet, Jesus the Lord hasn’t forgot us
The Lent we saw through gloom
The Palm Sunday appeared on Zoom
The Good Friday brings goodness
And the Monday shall bring a bloom
Mahavir Jayanti went past in quiet
For the Jains practicing vegetarian diet
Yet, the celebration was upheld in hearts
For, this was a big day on their charts
Hanuman Jayanti too a day so special
With chanting of the Chalisa essential
Singing glories of Ram bhakt Hanuman
Restricted by challenges environmental
Lord Ram’s prayers evermore exponential
For the Hindus the deity so very essential
Remembered all over the day communal
Ram Navami too marked indoors subsocial
The turbaned Sikhs too, silent for once
Marked a special day as a solemn occurrence
Vaisakhi celebrated with prayers enhanced
The Gurudwara is solitary just this chance
Silently leaving fronds if palm
On the locked gates of eerie calm
Walking silently in sun bask
I wear my full protective mask
Today too is the day of Passover
When will this pandemic pass over?
Good Friday indeed it’s luck
Even though we are in lock
Pools of hope we create and raise
Skward we look and moon gaze
Ramadan we are anticipating
Isolated, we shall be fasting
The divine is with us around us
We raise our hands He surround us
Monica in your words you embrace
All those who see His divine grace

Shariffa Ji you so inspire me to write more always. Loved your poetic comment.
Ramadan though isolated, will be highlighted by the soul
The fasting not leading to fasting, will be a marking so pure.
