Notice of absence from arqios
an absence of Presence conjures Absence…
an absence of Presence conjures Absence…
coiled, helical -seemingly fickle
…yet ever objective…
an unhurried force
that makes no offers
…nor demands.
What value we give it
is misused and/or abused
. . . by all subject to it!

A beautifully effective poem about forces with such good imagery and contrasts, I loved reading this!
Oh my, thank you 🙏🏻 👍🏻🕊 so glad you shared with me how it went!
You're very welcome!
It's 'time' for my quip: 'I never knew there was some much about* time, but I know now! lol. [*insert subject here, in this case - time].
Ahaha 😹 how’s Fido doing with your quip!? 🕊👍🏻🙏🏻
You have accomplished the near impossible describing the intangible in most poetic terms. The words though few are deeply profound in this poem. This one deserves a Fave
Aww shucks… thanks Soren… some of these are short but quite trickier to put together nut when the flow is on, it’s magically wonderful 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻
Mechanical time
Grinds
Us down
Effortlessly!
"An unhurried force." Great line, Arquios!
Cheers Mutley, thank you 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻
Time and tide wait for no man.Certainly no friend.An interesting poem exploring a great mystery.
Absolutely no one except the One that could keep the Sun in place!
Wow! Good morning! I'd like a decaf coffee, a side of home fries, a large OJ, and, heck, toss in a cup of oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins along with my TRUTH omelet! 🤣 Wonderful job, my friend. What can I say other than TRUTH! 🌹🌹 Ah...yes...I can also say FAVED.
Glad brekkie was filling 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻
Indeed! 🤣
Times like Oxygen: it’s all around us, but we can’t see it.
You described it so well in the Poem. Well said.
Yes, much like oxygen, I agree, in the sense of Time surrounding us but always remaining unseen! Thank you kindly, Kevin. Apologies for not being able to get back sooner. 🙏🏻🕊
Powerful and poignant.
Thanks Thomas 🙏🏻🕊
Time goes at ever changing speeds in life arqios.
Andy
The varying speeds of Time does keep us on our toes. Thanks Andy 🙏🏻🕊

No aint that the absolute truth in a nutshell .. Neville
Haha, thanks N… looks like I’m a bit ironically late to my own party 🤣🙏🏻🕊
A fine write. Some really great lines.
Thanks Tom. 🙏🏻 Your presence is quite missed 🕊
A clever write arqios and so true. Time is no friend. We have absolutely no control over it. A profound piece of poetry. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could stop it at certain points in our lives.
Thanks Cassie, I was meaning to get back to this but life keeps happening…. Like that song. A time stopping feature… just like a tape deck, complete with fast forward, reverse and delete buttons… now that would be useful. 🙏🏻🕊
