where is home?

arqios


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


a sail without its wind
prevailing 
       and oars without waters 
deep 
       within heaving chest 
spraying cheeks moist

    Interesting well written poem

    Makes me think of those things that are missing .. then it doesn’t always feel like ‘ home ‘ does it

    I get that feeling sometimes here , where I live doesn’t always feel like ‘ home

    But I guess ‘ home ‘ can be when around certain people aswell

    • arqios

      Indeed! That homey feeling can be quite important, at least I believe it to be so,to our general well-being. Thanks kindly 🙏🏻

    • David Wakeling

      This is intriguing.powerful metaphors here.

      • arqios

        All scrunched up and consolidated. Thanks heaps DW 🙏🏻

        Been there my friend and it is not where one wants to be. So nicely put in so few words

        • arqios

          Thanks Soren, brevity has a punch all its own. Thanks my friend 🙏🏻

        • Teddy.15

          Could be stuck in the middle of nowhere, beautiful dear arqios, much to reflect on in so little words elegant and I couldn't agree more about words. I believe Kindness is underrated my friend it really can go a long way. 🌹

          • arqios

            We have big talk on and gallant strides towards resilience when kindness is a key ingredient often overlooked. At least that’s what I believe. Thank you most kindly 🙏🏻

                    • Tom Dylan

                      A fine write. I found this rather thought-provoking, about the idea of what is home, and where is it. Nicely done.

                      • arqios

                        Thanks Tom, so true about home… thank you 🙏🏻
