Ekla Chalo Re / The displaced man in the globally connected world

When your call is heard
                                 by the void,
Sit down,
           voice it again to yourself ...
What gives courage
                           you may not be learned
Circle about, roam,
                         wonder along with silence ...
Storm, despair, clueless
                            if scare you to a lonely corner
Reinforcements will arrive
                                   formed of trees and bugs and light
When your call is heard by none
                                           walk on away
Let the vital air circle in and about,
                                        let it have its simple sway.
