Lonely
It always surprizes me
Just how easily
Loneliness can be eased.
A hand squeeze to go with a hi
A "let me take that" when juggling baby with a pile
An email "how's it going?"
A question that shows a knowing of affairs
A child hug without reason
A pat of a side-by-side seat invitation
A "come join us" gesture, even when I can't
A surprize heart-to-heart with a stranger
A shared lunch
Skype chats
Eyes fully met
One night hosting
Tiny yet powerful connections
So grateful when I am the receiver
drowning in loud loneliness
The challenge now is to be, to give just this
To those around me
Who knows who is as lonely as me?
