Beauty

 

Listen – I hear music!

In the park.

At the pub, in their outdoor venue.

At the festival, everyone

with picnic dinners

and beach-style chairs

 

Look – we have friends visiting!

I hosted my book group, in person,

on the front patio.

Last night we went to a

back yard BBQ.

 

We are gathering. Again.

Gathering – cautiously.

Remembering – the old ways.

 

May we be strong.

May we be wise.

May we know-

the beauty of each other.
