in truth all of us are related, interconnected, by blood, by flesh,  
by thought, by the mere idea of interconnection we are all 
interconnected,  
on the philosophy of language 
unless we are interconnected there  
should have been no word as  
interconnected,  
 
soon you will discover that there is a thin line connecting your 
eyelash to the tip of you toe that when you cut a dead nail 
a tear may fall 
unseen tears 
that your dream may not even notice,  
the butterfly to the star,  
the star to the starfish 
the atom to the the moon 
the foxhole to the blackhole of this universe,  
the lullabye of mother 
to the hum of the earth 
well detected by our human ears 
that too the sun 
has ears and fingers of its own 
or the stars its sewing needles 
that fall from the dark night skies,  
my mind away many many miles from you 
is interconnected  
to your longing,  
my death is your death too 
and my dream of being reborn 
is relative to the dusts 
rested on your feet,  
 
we are interconnected and soon we will know 
that we are one 
that this river that we pass for a hundred times 
seen from above 
this earth 
is just one winding river  
that we step upon 
our eyes duped by all these 
ordinary rocks and  mountains
