Poem's theme further elaborated-
It doesn't have a deeper meaning than it seems:
-Going outside in the fresh air, crowds, and restaurants were all very ordinary things; they were 'just there,' nothing special, they were fun. However,now it's a gift.
-The same place, different times, and different emotions
-Previously, seeing a large queue or crowd would have elicited distress and annoyance
-But, now they are novelties. One feels happy seeing a queue, noticing the aroma of a place and nature (which I love).
-In Pre-pandemic times, one would have not noticed or thought about them in-depth. Now, are chance encounters, thus trouvaille.
-It is not about longing for the good old days but rather feeling blessed in the current situation, presently living this moment.
-Having Gratitude for these precious moments which deserve their share of love and acknowledgement.
Carpe Diem!
