Presence

Presence! Isn't it strange?
Impact, they say, depends on its range.

Spreads warmth in proximity, also when heard and felt
Absence of it makes loved ones dread and melt
Described once by the phrase "..waiting on the line"
Prescribed now just by their status as "online"

Years many & with words 000's many try
to establish theirs on the street
Hundred forty words & at times as a reply
is all it takes for some via a tweet

Celebrity some become leveraging its essence
Brevity is the outcome if followed by arrogance
Hours or minutes, all that matters is its importance
Silence too can be felt, like a flamed incense.
