Through the somber silence of this social distance,
I sensed some brightness through my ruins of existence

Very nice!
Very nice couplet! And very relevant to what is happening today.
We must always find that brightness.
Let jus hear it for the “brightness”, that is so hard to visualize midst the chaos and darkness. The alliteration in the first line is fun.
A bright spot in the scenery is all. Beautiful couplet.
Fell silent, had to repeat the poem,say it aloud and thank you for this beautiful poem
I liked your couplet. It spoke volumes! Yes, the light at the end of the tunnel. 🙂

Tersely timely, Bjorn!

The social distance must be maintained yes, but it rightly should not put one at a disadvantage!

Simple works.

It may be a simple couplet, Björn, but it encapsulates current feelings. Sometimes the fewer the words the more powerful the statement.
So much summed up in that couplet! Let us hope there will be some brightness.
(There’s not much light in the gloom of that image. It looks like Count Dracula’s castle.) 😀
Sometimes darkness is needed to see the light. (K)
Utterly love this one! 🙂
Two lines can say so much. Wonderful words.
Love this Bjorn…enough said! JIM
Well, I hope there is some brightness after this pause in the world.
Peace and light Bjorn!
