With covid confining the family to the home, women have found it difficult to find a place to decompress and loosen up. More than ever, women and primarily homemakers have found their realm invaded and inundated by people as well as an unending list of chores and duties.
Silent spires stretching to sabbath skies,Shuttered openings watch with unseeing stare,Softly scan empty terrace and desolate street,Search and say, is the city dead or are we?

For you are my source and till.
Be my stay in all of life's mill
So that I rest secure and still!
