Oh my friend (OMF š¤£)ā¦this is one of those poems that appears and disappears at the same time. That lineāābecause itās running out of ways to hold itself togetherāāhit too close, in the best way. And that final ache for company between questions...you spoke what silence sometimes tries to say. Beautifully done. š¹š An easy fave!

In the beginning was the word. Autem spoke and by his word all things were created. All things out of nothingness. The big bang. The next tow lines so perfect. ( I saw my reflection in the window and mistook it for someone coming home) Creation to destruction and back again, how greater coming home yet is it not all just a reflection. Two dimensional all reflections stand still they have already arrived. A blink a designation of time whether light years or in the blink of an eye. As the cosmos expands greater distance between stars and galaxies so greater distance between people and we all long for company and affiliation. Loos thoughts Cryptic. Beautiful poem,

Hello Arqios,
This reads like an awakening from the mechanical to the philosophical in a most splendid poem. From the peeling of an orange to the opening of time. So carefully composed, not a word out of place and each stanza a marvel to behold. Very well done indeed.
All the best,
Tony.

Hey brother Arqios spooky, or what .. & furthermore, I can\'t think of a time when I felt more chuffed .. chuffed to bits in fact (for those non Brits, chuffed is a kind of happy & honoured kind feeling) ..

Oh my friendā¦this one breathed. That fire line at the top already lit the fuse, and then the final imageāthe clock not marking time, but an opening? Quite the revelation, dear poet. Love and live for that! Thereās deep stillness here, and even deeper knowing. Thank you for this. š¹š

Your poem weaves quiet tension with delicate grace, where every stillness hums with anticipation. The imagery lingers, leaving the reader poised at the threshold of something profound.

We are governed by habit and ritual more than thought we are a product of what has been from the beginning be it war, greed of whatever man is. our artificial attempts at protection hung up in treaties with memories of past violations and wars. Todays silence of cold war leads to misunderstanding. Differences in the form of static make this world hard to understand. In a world that has had its technological revolution we have gone far too long without a social revolution and when that time comes a paradigm shift is the opening to an evolution of man casting off old habits and a changed species. I think I have traveled far enough in this out of control interpretation. Loved it and a fave

For me this was a fascinating read. I like the quotes eg \"Rhythm, not reason guides the hand ....\"There is so much in this that made me stop in my tracks and think. A very clever write. I enjoyed reading

Oh, my dear poet and friendā¦this felt like it was speaking through me, not just to me. š That violet-in-the-crack line? Wow! Thatās the truth of it. The echo that stays, the dialect of quiet griefāwe know it well...or at least I do. Deeply moving work. Still sitting with this. š¹š A must fave for me.

This is a hope filled poem.Perhaps the poet is not forgotten but has metamorphised into being a musician or lyricist. The basic roots of poetry are still there and growing.An excellent discussion. Enjoyed reading
