Silent Reverence

I walk these streets, silent and still, Faces pass by, each chasing their will. No words I offer, no call, no cheer, In their worlds, they dwell—so far, so near. Let them wander where their visions lie, Beneath the same vast Nepali sky. Dreams of theirs I do not intrude, For in my quiet, I find my mood. Am I rude to pass and not engage? Or just a soul, freeing their stage? Each moment they craft, I let it unfold, A mosaic woven in threads untold. Beneath these hills, in Kathmandu's grace, I honor their rhythm, their time, their space. For in this stillness, I see more clear— A bond unspoken, yet ever near. Let their paths shine, let them be, As I journey within, just silently. Nepali hearts, vast and deep, In quiet respect, their space I keep.

Notes

a solitary walk through the streets of Kathmandu others immersed in their own lives. Choosing not to engage, respecting their personal space, reflecting on the balance between connection and solitude. This quiet acknowledgment honors the unspoken bonds shared under the vast Nepali sky, emphasizing the value of silent respect in human interactions.
