Google did its annual trend reveal
In 2021 people searched for “how to heal”
More than anything else because
The pandemic ravaged without a pause
Discouraged, exhausted, hopeless often
Sometimes in body, sometimes in spirit broken
We grasped on to wispy straws of hope
We looked for rays of positivity to help us cope
In yet another unpredictable year
Where hope stayed in a constant battle with fear..
*
The world is an interconnected place
We all are hurting, all of us have faced
Devastation unleashed by the pandemic in some way
We need to heal together, we need it today
I hope in lending each other a helping hand
We find redemption- we help each other stand
