spaces we inhabit: mornings

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…



In the morning light
we gather at the square
voices mingling
plans unfolding
     .　.　.　 a tapestry of lives
undulating in confettied sun

  • Comment from author about the poem: …let’s make it a short one today. Over the years I have discovered the night owl in me. But I do remember having good early mornings under the watchful eye of the Bundy clock. Perhaps this micropoem shall travel the distance in a short span of time… maybe even like a Concorde jet, minus the environmental issues. Relax, it’s just a (ill-chosen) metaphor… 🙂

        A beautiful image cast in a moment and then gone with just an echo in the mind remaining

          When a new year arrives, it feels like a new time has arrived. It's an illusion, but it's a good opportunity to change your feelings.

          • arqios

            That must be be the primary function of illusions, of which fiction is a category. Thanks kindly, rin 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Rings true to me. The celebration is over...on with life. On with the hustle, the bustle, the mingling, and the working...the planning and the unfolding of plans... billions of people around the world, carrying on with what they hope to be abundant life. Loved the poem, my friend! 🌹👏

              Like when the stock market reopens. As a child my logic was why close the stock market at all… economy doesn’t stop… are they unduly economising ? A bit Scroogian there, there seems to be a little Ebanezer in every one, he isn’t the exception to the rule! Sorry, I digress…. Thank you so much fur unfurling the sails of the this short poem.

              • Tristan Robert Lange
