these are the days

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
A reminder to extend an olive branch… where possible.
Let us sup of the dignity of kindness and humility…

There are days 
when songs are stifled
on a weary and hoarse throat.
Notes no longer glide softly -
raking leaves strewn across
a barely littered lawn;
their butterfly wings
hung up in the wait 
for another sunny day.

There are nights
that stars squander
their luminescence
on unappreciative lovers
roaming listlessly by
on a moonlit shore
their brilliant points
curl up in vain hope
of another cloudless night.

There are mornings
that sizzle on the stove
that sparkle sweet tangy-ness
hands clasping across the table
reliving life's love-filled moments
a warmth in the kitchen
reflects fervent esteem
done up in various colours
for each new morning.

        You too. So good to have ended the year in good company! We're having a quiet one this year. There is much noise around us. I will be like that apple tree and survive. Thanks kindly. πŸ₯³

      • sorenbarrett

        Open one's eyes to the glory around us and be grateful for that. Too often ignored or not enjoyed we let splendor pass us by. Carpe Diem Happy New Year

                              This just glides along. "unappreciative lovers
                              roaming listlessly " defines the tone. Well done.

                              • arqios

                                That’s awesome to hear! Glad you pointed it out. It is a very strong and telling image. Thank DWi, I hope you had a good transition into 2025. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•Š
