Notice of absence from arqios
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind
In the breath before an answer,
in the space between steps,
there lies the essence of wandering.
No map can trace the heart’s journey,
no compass needle can point true north.
It is the pulse of the unknown
that truly drives the quest—
neither seeking its end,
nor the beginning, but simply to be.
The questions of "why" and "where"
dissolve in the distant horizons
leaving only the hushed tones of "now."

I can never catch 'this moment'. It seems to be gone in a, erm, moment! lol.
🤣 ask Fido, he knows how it’s done! ✅
I will be honest i am still working this one out, but i have still enjoyed the read
Thank you for taking the journey. 🙏🏻
You are very welcome
A beautiful description of that time between. When nothing is measured, planned or noticed. Time not lived, another dimension where everything is decided and fate turns the page. Well written my friend
Thanks Soren 🙏🏻

The end stanza says it all. For all of the questions we have...the whys...the hows...we never seem to "know" the answers...and, perhaps...maybe, just maybe...that is okay. Maybe we have all we need to discover in the current moment...in the now. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderfully wise, my friend! 🌹👏
And that is the core stanza on which the other stanzas stemmed from. And definitely, I truly want to believe that it is okay. Cheers Tristan 🙂
Me too, my friend! At the very least, I find a home in the journey to wherever the hell (heaven) we are going! 😂🤣 Cheers, mate! 🍻
HAHA, you and me both!
A wonderful poem
and thought provoking indeed! 🤔
That moment in-between is
all that counts sounds like,, "now"! 😲
Thanks for sharing
my pleasure to read!! 😊
Best regards ✌️ Thad
Thanks Thad! Glad you got it. Not that you wouldn't have. It's much like not being afraid of jumping off but that lag in between, of getting yourself to take the leap. Or something that could explain it better, lol.
Clear and smooth, annunciated well, very nice.
Thanks DW 🙏🏻
there is absolutely nothing wrong with this work of art at all, indeed .. everything is perfectly all write & that, is an understatement if ever there was in my personal opinion .. from the opening stanza which was a brilliant way to kick off and introduce the whole thing, write through to its polar opposite conclusion .. everything fits with such exact precision .. I suggest this is more than just a little gem .. indeed much more .. 👍😎👍
Thanks N 🙏🏻
Each moment in our lives is now arqios.
Andy
Indeed Andy! 🙏🏻👍🏻
'Tis in that moment in between that all is as you wish it to be arqios. Enjoy the moment while it's yours. 😉
Thanks kindly🙏🏻 such a poetic response!
Yes , Now is so important .
We can look at old photos when young and long for ‘that’ now. Or Pictures with our Parents now gone. But in this Now there are new Loves.
Huzzah! “New loves,” now that’s where it’s at! Thanks for that refreshing response 🙏🏻
