Invisible you are and powerful too but we dodged you as we flew
Stressfully we questioned our choice as our anxiety grew
We were meerkats in a tunnel safely hunkered down
Like lookouts we ventured on with concern and a frown
Traffic on the freeway halved and Ubers here and there
Stores and malls shuttered like our world is sitting bare
At the airport curb we stepped out two lonely souls with a bag
With trepidation we walked in without the usual swag
We traveled back home with surreal scenes all around
Eerie towns on a foggy night with quiet a deafening sound
We stepped into our home with hearts filled with gratitude
For smooth transit today but concern shaded our mood
Johns Hopkins' daily map with red blobs across the globe
Sight of the spread unnerves us to our very core
Relentless is the search for the flattening curve
Not now, not today, not yet we anxiously observe
Spare the feeble and the frail while we stay away from view
Mother Nature unleashed fully with her pandemic crew
There is no doubt who is boss as we fail to gain control
Invisible you are and powerful too as we try to calm our soul
