When.. Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

When the time of the change
came and touched more and more.
When the people stopped going
beyond their front door.
When we learned not to touch
but to feel from our hearts.
When we valued our loved ones
though often apart.
When we started to talk
and to listen as well.
When we started to heal
and we started to tell
of the small things in life
that we once would ignore,
when a walk in the park
we loved more than before.
When the silence we hear
broken by the birds songs
When we see Mother nature
live where she belongs.
When the danger has passed
and the world can rewind,
will we all have forgotton
those things that we find,
have sustained us throughout
and enriched heart and soul,
will we be better people
not just half but now whole?
