Connected

Separated by walls 
masks and rules
we stand apart
but every time you go on a walk
and you pass someone six feet apart
and smile through a mask
or give your hand a little wave
you form a small connection
and by that small action
you spread a little sunshine
in times that feel so dark
every time you call a friend
or facetime a family member
you form a connection
you give them hope
and they can spread that feeling
one spark that you produced
has become a fire
lighting up the world
