an absence of Presence conjures Absence…
Years and seasons passing
persons moving on, away
from moments, perfectly
converged; perhaps still
memory, sweet in time
Parallel courses, across
pioneering spaces, once
again unite, wayfarers
through portals, dusks
and dawns of rebirth
They walk through
landscapes ever-
changing, where
shadows play on
ancient stones, and
light filters through
canopies of green.
The scent of earth
and foliage, a reminder
of journeys shared
whispers of laughter
and solace carried on
the breeze, resonating
in the quiet of the heart.
Crossroads and inter-
sections, paths diverging
converging in a dance
of destiny, weaving lives
in a tapestry of existence.
Moments of silence,
moments of shared
wonder, eyes meeting
in understanding, a nod
…a smile , silent
affirmations of presence.
Beneath vast skies,
beneath its canopy
of stars, they travel
seeking out horizons,
pushing boundaries
of known and unknown.
In the spaces between,
they find meaning,
in the pauses, they
find themselves, ever-
connected, threads of
being intertwined in
the continuum of time and space.
Footsteps on foreign soil,
echoes of voices, stories
told and retold, the essence
of human connection,
resilient through the ebb
and flow of undulating
years, of seasons passing.
With each step,
with each breath,
companions of the journey,
united in vision, quest
for discovery, for truth
through portals of existence
~dawns of rebirth, an endless
voyage the heart of the traveller,
ever-seeking, ever-finding
comfort in the company
of kindred souls.

This one is a journey in and of itself from beginning to end it carries me along. Very nicely worded and paced it lays out each step and holds a great message at the end of the journey that we are social creatures and it is company that we long for. A fave

That is quite a journey through life you have taken your readers on. Much to see on the way and pathways to pursue. Lovely choice of language and laden with imagery. The final stanza says it all. In search of kindred spirits. That’s what we do. Poetry to be admired.
Thanks Cassie 🙏🏻🕊

You're welcome
Kindred spirits are few and far between in this age of iron. Well, I guess that means we're less likely to take them for granted?!
Great write.
To me that also means it could be a needle in the haystack... hopefully Poetry is (among other things) a supercharged metal detector! And of course to cherish and treasure and never ever to take for granted. Thanks kindly 🙏🏻🕊️
"A supercharged metal detector." I like that!
