2020 Summer

i have experienced this feeling before

sunlight piercing through the canopy

while i'm a feet away from the Lychee tree

the grass is greener and there is bird chirping

nostalgic this feeling is to me

is it because the color in my eyes recalled 2020

when i used to chase the afternoons

that time was my escape when i could breathe freedom

This poem is part of "Daisy Summer: A Poetry Series". This poem looks through the lens of nostalgia, a feeling  of deja vu that i got standing in the garden that i only felt in the summer of 2020, when everything still had colors and i had my true freedom.
