Claiming it back?

After many years, I breathed free
I’d forgotten what it was to be me

As they moved back from the fore
I felt lighter and livelier in my core

My skin too, shined under the sun
More of my friends joined the fun

Birds, fishes, and animals returned
to claim the spaces, long yearned

The sky stole a glance in my face
‘This is my blue without the haze’

The earth slept quietly, unstirred
I can’t believe what has occurred

Where have they gone? I wonder
Will they come back??? I shudder


I = river during a lock down
