Phoenix Rising

We find ourselves in a twilight zone of sorts, the world as we knew it has changed drastically. I took a walk today among the deserted streets of my neighborhood and realized that things are not as they seem. Birds were chirping the sweetest song, the sun was highlighting the yellow daffodils, and the air held a fresh exuberance that made me breathe a bit deeper. In awe of nature, I stood strong but lighthearted. I caught myself smiling from a different place, and there was no fear.
