[quote=Anonymous]Poem? Absolutely.

this abundant love

“Stay well”
we say
“Stay safe.”
we say it
to our friends
our neighbors
the checker at the store
the woman at the drive through window.
we long for the time when love was a hug
a kiss
a gift placed in a hand.
Now
love is a wave from afar
driving by a house to hold up a sign for the birthday girl
groceries left at a stranger’s doorstep
hunting through the basement for a mask unused that might mean the life of a hero.
we pour our love into a song sung
a story read
a picture drawn.
it’s there
in the teacher searching desk drawers in an empty classroom for hand sanitizer to give away
tiny children dancing the prayers taught by their ancestors
a loaf of bread passed from a full cart to an empty hand
a wedding rescheduled
an extra-large tip
a thousand fostered kittens.
the earth breathes
we take a breath together
for all the squeezing of the lungs our hearts are squeezed
and though we’ve never met before
it is the true deep wish of our breaking hearts
as we part with
“Stay well.”
