Connection

It’s a trope, of course — 

Ships passing in the night — 

A way of describing 

 The shallowness of connection 

That occurs when we’re too busy; 

So intent on our own journeys we’ve no time 

 To do more than acknowledge 

 We’ve crossed paths 

But are headed in different directions. 

Next time we pass, let’s stop and reconnect: 

What salvation we will find in times like these 

Will come from connection.
