where two currents meet
Tristan Robert Lange said:
arqios, this really grabbed me. The quietness of it is what makes it so powerful…nothing forced, nothing dramatic, just two lives moving alongside one another through a landscape that feels deeply reflective and alive. There’s a beautiful calmness here. A fave for sure, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A deep decription of two people walking by the stream. To me it is more than that.It is also one mans path is \"unequal\" to an other mans path but for a moment the apths find a point that is equal.A thoughtful journey here

You’ve got that quiet observational weight here—like the world just unfolding without asking to be noticed.
There’s a soft tension in the parallel paths, as if distance itself is the real conversation between them.

Cryptic this write seems an image of today\'s society with different paths where there is an indifference between the travelers noticing only the passing and little engagement. It is peaceful in its way but seems lonely and isolated. Well written my dear friend

Enjoy your writing, my friend. Your poem focuses on the physical act of brewing coffee, but it also hints at broader themes of care, the potential for failure, and the significance of small choices in life.

Rik, you got me with this one. The pacing and pauses absolutely sell the voice here…like someone treating the sacred ritual of coffee-making with life-or-death seriousness. It’s weirdly tense and hilarious at the same time. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Sounds like coffee but I don\'t make mine like that mine is expresso ground fine filled half full boiling water poured over as it runs into the cup, the stronger the better. But could this be a bit of a metaphor my dear friend everything now days is mechanized, measured, plastic, sanitized sorry I\'m too old school for that. Do rinse my cup though.

A beautifully written piece.There is such a joy in the style which is very enjoyable to read.The cup on the bench is a symbol of not giving up the past and the potential of the future to carry on.For me it is wonderful

There’s a calm intelligence in this—like the world being noticed without trying to be possessed,
Just footsteps and light and time passing through you without asking for permission.

Arqios, this has a wonderfully restrained and observational beauty to it. Cups, corridors, cloth, shifting light, slowed movement, and quiet interior adjustment all gather into a subtle meditation on fatigue, routine, and the fragile steadiness that carries a person through ordinary existence. Deeply atmospheric piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A complex poem of time itself and nature\'s clock measured by sun. The hour marked by light and shadow moves about the room in quite mute measures. \"Hands move in steady patterns\" Toothy edges reminiscent of the gears in a clock, the hooked cloth the meridian twelve on the clock a place to return to. Time measured by movement is well set here. There is a sense of unalterable quiet movement in this poem. Lovely and a fave

Rik, this hurt in such a quiet and recognizable way. The poem understands how a single dismissive moment can linger for years without anyone else even noticing it happened. Powerful, relatable piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
