Unity
By, Julie Marasco
There was a time
We’d recognize each other by our faces,
But when the world divided us
Six feet apart
Your face became unknown,
Two years spent
Solely learning the language of the eyes
As words were foreign on the tongue,
United,
We are all simply trying to survive,
A road paved with new beginnings,
I find inner peace
Knowing I’m not the only traveler.
