STATIC IN THE VOID
Yes there is a moment
When all the joy you have been holding inside
Bursts into colorful visions
Of the wonders that have occurred
Like flashbacks of replayed movies
Knowing how they ended
With no anxiety remaining
Just etched expressions of loved ones
Seeing them as they were
Static in the void
Unresponsive to your stares
Non-compliant with your requests
As though perfectly satisfied
With history as it unfolded
Uninterested in your current issues
Part of the permanent matrix of your life
Available to teach you
How things result from actions
And the true character of personalities
You wonder whether you can change –
The answer unclear.
Some aspects shift
Some aspects of your nature seem constant.
The same inner being?
It seems so.
But altered, burnished, broadened
Until you soak up the world
As it is
With no expectations of it changing
To accommodate you or anyone
Yet shifting as societies of 8 billion people
Communicate virtually
Modifying the nature of
interpersonal relationships
