Arqios, this is stunning...technical language woven into living poetry. The “soft glitch” and “chromatic aberration” become revelations instead of flaws. Masterful work, my friend. A major fave...if such a thing existed! LOL! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🦇🐦⬛

I felt that I entered the Twilight Zone in this poem. A poem that opens old windows and doors that builds new ones that are still familiar somehow. Truths restated in fresh ways. A beautiful melding of psychology, physiology, physics and poetry the four p\'s in alliteration. Loved it cryptic and a fave

Another superbly strong piece, my friend. Sparse, sharp, and human...it carries weight well beyond its brevity. Well crafted, Rik. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🦇🐦⬛

I think sometimes the aspects of beauty do come slowly; the more we see, the more we appreciate, and in the silence of understanding, the more beautiful it becomes. This is what your lovely poem conjures for me, and I love delving into it. Thank you!

Cryptic your poems are growing deeper or maybe my mind is getting older, or possibly I am just noticing things that got past me before. This poem speaks to me of judgements made, of beauty in the eye of the beholder, of our taking human form and biased by that shape we hold. I am rambling on and yet the meanings keep coming. It becomes frightening to swim in waters where you can not see bottom. What lies beneath undetected haunts the mind.

In my Room I have a framed picture of Dickens :
Quill Pen writing at his desk. That for me is \'Composing\'. A bit Romantic. To day Wordsworth would be \'Wandered lonely as a Cloud\' with a Phone in his hand.
A fine write.

Yes - hopefully the day won\'t come when we say \'What is a BOOK?\' - the ones with paper pages, not online, Kindle, whatever!

Dear, arqios,
A most enjoyable and intriguing poem. A life without confusion would be confusing in itself, companionless and of no need for clarity. What is one without the other and yet the twain shall never meet. Excellent, truly.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Love the poem text image my friend! Really fits well. Love the poem too. A total fave. That last turn...“clarity not the absence of confusion, but its quiet companion”...hit me hard. Answers don’t always scream…sometimes they just wait beneath the noise. A beautiful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

From lamplight scribbles to flickering screens, our relationship with words keeps reinventing itself. This piece looks back at how we once wrote, how we now connect, and how we might someday return to the quiet permanence of the printed page. It’s not a nostalgia trip so much as a reflection on the spaces, both private and public, where creativity has lived, and might live again.

Indeed there is something distancing in the technological, mechanical tapping, in the glowing screen. Something much more personal in the organic feel of a fountain pen and the flow of the ink on the page. More thought before touching tip to page with indelible dye the can not be changed. Times have changed and with them we and our feelings. A lovely write

Although I write my knowledge of words is not great and got a bit lost on the way but the when I got to bottom of this page. I could feel a pleasant wave.
Maybe clarity came my way.

A life long search for clarity amongst the confusion as many do, I am sure it\'s there somewhere , but for me anyway it\'s very well hidden, enjoyed the read

The poem delves into themes of human vulnerability, the search for truth, and the nature of reality. It contemplates the interplay between confusion and clarity, portraying clarity as a companion to chaos rather than its opponent.
