mateship’s duty of care

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind

 


Though these rhymes wander, its lines lift,
Our bond withstands the Ages' shift.
In journeys long and years that sweep,
The lamp of kinship's light we keep.

Though words may falter, verses stray,
In every stanza, hearts convey
A bond unbroken, ever strong,
With love and reverence where we belong.

Through days of joy and nights of tears,
We've braved the doubts, subdued the fears.
Each rhyme may tremble, yet we find
Respect and love, a peace of mind.

Others may gaze, but cannot see
The depths of what you are to me.
Our trove, a secret, kept with care,
A treasure rare, beyond compare.

The lamp we hold, its flame so bright,
Guides us through the darkest night.
In rhymes that wander, hearts do speak
Of love and respect, steadfast, unique.

So let the world in wonder stare,
For only we this vault can share.
Through every verse, each line we weave,
In love and reverence, we still believe.

  • Comment from author about the poem: We aren’t Mayflower folk but we observe the spirit of Thanksgiving. I grew up alone and always wanted a brother. And when that finally eventuated we were blessed to become quite close mates. So this time of year I offer up grateful appreciation for this continuing gift. And though we live in different cities and different countries we retain an esteem and bond that remains strong.

          A poem of kinship and closeness very nicely worded, convey the feeling of family weather of blood or just spirit

          • arqios

            Yes! Now that’s right in the intersection where everything is not but all at once is! Thanks Soren 🙏🏻

            Kinship, mateship, brother doesn't necessarily have to imply a connection by blood, does it? Where it occurs it can anchor and stabilize one's existence. Good call.

            • arqios

              Spot on, mate! 👍🏻

              • Doggerel Dave

                This is absolutely lovely .. I just knew it was about the bond between brothers from the off .. your authors note confirmed that & reminded me of the relationship I have with my own younger brother .. Neville
