something is simmering

Something is simmering.

The lives we once knew
Unrecognizable.

The loves we once knew
No longer here.

Lists getting longer.
Days getting shorter.
Meals going faster.
Sleep almost gone.

It seems we’ve forgotten
Those days were too rushed

It seems we’ve forgotten
The Necessity of Rest

Desperate to return
we avert our eyes

Desperate to forget
the pain we all shared

Something is simmering.
What will break through?
