Missing your stories


One of the great losses of this time 
Has been the lost opportunity 
To listen to each other’s stories— 
The kinds of truth we’re only likely to reveal 
In person; not so much by phone or Zoom; 
The kinds of stories that when shared 
Remind us just how much alike we are. 
These days the deepest truths I hear 
Are only whispered through the trees, 
The song of birds, the murmur of the waves...
