The Silent Herald

arqios


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

 

With pen in hand

I become a silent herald

Channeling voices long forgotten

 

And stories left unsaid

 

Through the guise of another

I bring forth light

Of hidden truths

 

And the darkness bred

 

Of oft buried fears.

In these silent spaces

My true voice is birthed.

    I believe I am, my friend! Though, depending on which piece of mine one is reading, one might beg to differ on how silent of a herald I am! 🤣 I truly relate to this. Well done with a poignant question at the end! 👏🌹

      Thanks friend. Sometimes we are not one thing or another but everything, other times we aren’t anything at all…. then there are those rare moments when we are perfectly ourselves despite what surrounds us. 🙏🏻

                          So very true arqios, those pens can leak out many unsung words.

                            The voice of poets. We have a duty not to be silent. Our job is to be heard surely and long may your words continue to have their impact arqios.

                            • arqios

                              Thanks Cassie. A united voice is what we’re working towards. Varied but together as in threads of a larger tapestry. 🙏🏻
