Parea
(Greek) A group of friends who gather to share life experiences
It started as chats
random in abandon
and then
in groups
we would listen
to sorrow
to loss
to loneliness
till one day all we had
a link, time and schedule
people in windows
looking at other windows
no hope of a hug
or a pat on the back
or holding a hand
only a face on a screen
only a longing for a Parea
in a parea we made!
