Meeting Apart in Times of Lockdown
Grateful for the singing in my soul
For the deep waves that break upon the rocks,
For the feeling of community with other writers
For people writing at the same time.
L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux,
On ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur.
There is a secret in this solitude,
In the mystery of this meeting apart,
Catching words that fly like hungry birds,
Confident they’ll find fish somehow.
