A Beautiful Future

                                      
                                                       WHEN ALL THIS IS OVER.....

You will put down your phone, exhausted, finishing Netflix by then. And you'll walk out.

The world has been changed, the one you knew, gone. Only providing the essentials for the new one to rebuild itself.  After years of being polluted by factories fuel, it has healed. You'll see colors you have never seen before, the nature will welcome you back, embracing you wholeheartedly. It will treat you delicately, gently. The busiest cities will rest finally, their streets will be filled with birds chirping and flowers blooming, and for the very first time in your life you'll hear your heartbeat not the honking of trucks.

The way of life will change. You'll learn with wisdom to respect the new ways! After the storm has passed, taking away all that was unnecessary important, we'll see what we had missed for so long. We will have answers for the questions that seemed unanswerable, we will have sorted everything out by then. We spend a lifetime with ourselves in those months, reflection was the only thing worth our time. How to love ? Who to be ? What to do ? When to move on ? Why to let go ? Everything will have logical explanation by then, a happily accepted result!

The order will change, resetting our priorities, reshaping us as humans. People won't complain while going to offices, children won't say no to meeting grandparents, we will actually sit down and talk. Hustle will be for life, we will focus on making more memories, spending time with people will be a blessing and we will count it twice. Political values will shift, a more human approach will be adopted, with helping those who are in need as the basic principle. Suppression will be a word of past, Freedom will be necessary, people wont be discriminated on the basis of religion, won't be cast out because of ethnicity, love will be universal.

Individually we will do unexpected, achieving what seemed  unachievable before, following the dreams we hid under our beds, confessing what was at the tip of our tongues but never further, entire cities will be in love, we will finally learn to cherish what we have, we will finally be contained by what we have. We will start timeless conversations over a cup of tea, sitting outside will be sufficient to be happy.

New art will be created, new skills learned, new stories will be told, people will dance to new tunes, tragedies will be written, love will flourish again. New heroes will tell tales of their fight, legends will be made of brave men and women who upheld their oaths, fighting an unseen enemy vigilantly. A different kind of war with a PTSD that our heroes will live with, a kind of burden that those who have seen death very closely carry with them.

But importantly, we all after dodging a bullet, will appreciate time. We will know it's importance, because then we'll know that clock is ticking, it's the borrowed time. We'll do our best to live.


Until then, stay safe. Stay home. We can beat this only if we act as one! Sending love and prayers!
