When the WiFi fades away,
My work hangs in the balance,
Teaching online,
Podcasts echo in silence,
TV shows pause mid-scene,
A world once vibrant, now unseen.

Yet, in the stillness, I remember,
Records spin, tapes play,
Videos capture moments,
Friends to share a meal,
A phone call brings connection,
In this quiet, I find reflection.

It feels as if the world has ended,
But in truth, life still flows,
Beyond the screens and signals,
A different rhythm grows.
The heart beats on, the laughter lingers,
In moments unplugged,
I find new fingers.
