Words in Meaningless Rhymes

A Story of Downtime

I cried, Eventually, my tears got dried.

Words uprooted, Thoughts diverted, Wounds uplifted, And sounds muted.

So, my writing paused- As an illusion caused, My dilemma cheered and glossed.

At the end of downtime, Although nowhere closer to my prime, My scribbling started and converted- Some words in meaningless rhyme.

I had started writing this poem on a frustrating day of July 2020- when I was feeling a claustrophobic feeling along with the never-ending pressure of the current scenario. Eventually, I got better, lifted myself, and stepped towards a new day. But during that period, I stopped writing or at-least meaningful words. Once I got better, I started to look into the unfinished drafts and compelled to complete into this piece, as to announce the end of the dawntime (I hope and pray).
