A mist, invisible to the naked eye arrived
No one knows for sure where it came from
Some say the Far East
It started to move it’s way country by country
Slowly seeping into every city, town and village
It traveled by air, sea and land
At first undetected
It can’t be seen, but can be felt
In the deepest recesses of our bodies
It wrecks havoc
Some people are spared the worst
Others suffer greatly
Some heal and others succumb
It shows very little mercy
A mist, invisible to the naked eye arrived
No one knows for sure where it came from
Some say the Far East
It started to move it’s way country by country
Slowly seeping into every city, town and village
It traveled by air, sea and land
At first undetected
It can’t be seen, but can be felt
In the deepest recesses of our bodies
It wrecked havoc
Some people were spared the worst
Others suffer greatly
Some healed and others succumbed
It showed very little mercy
Over time since it first arrived
It covered the world
Animals and plants were spared
Yet humanity suffered a great deal
Life as we know it was put on hold
Some called it the pause
Countries shut down
Streets were empty
Economies stalled
While we sat and waited
Shuttered inside
For a vaccine and treatment
Knowing any trip outside had risk
Yet tempted by the beauty of nature
The call of the familiar
Haunted by what may happen
In the end all we had was hope
That in time this would pass and become a memory
Hope that we will recover
Hope that we will begin again
Invisible mist
