Our Collective State of Being

Languishing; the new pandemic buzzword

Blah, meh, languishing
The absence of wellbeing
Struck us all at once

As the world shut down
Stagnation set in; pulled us
Into its abyss

More from Being Known

Authentically sharing stories and poems from the heart about our experience of being human and our ongoing process of becoming perfectly imperfect. Writing mostly real and raw with a sprinkle of microfiction!
