The silent space
beyond the threads
beyond tweeted tiny details
of everyone’s planet
the tendency of people
to overshare and demand
seeking their tiny minutes
of fame and infamy
those who peek out only
when they have something deep to say
those who hang out for intellectual
sustenance within the threads
of everyday
unravel in waves of concern
in a world like chorus
cheering and jeering at the sidelines of everyday
Connecting us to Maya
and Stephen Fry
silence calls
stillness waits
memes remind of the spiritual
the social obligation
friendship that is more
than threads
tendrils of humanity
respond
silence calls
stillness waits
this is the space
where story beckons
(to be continued – a first draft of the poem, it may change, a chorus to the poem is developing, and this one might be one to perform!)
