an evolving presence

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
an absence of Presence conjures Absence…


 

In the flow of days and nights,

awareness intertwines with time,

each moment birthed anew.

 

Full consciousness breathes

within the heartbeat of change,

not separate, but entwined with life's pulse.

 

The truth ignites not a fire,

but a gentle dawn,

easing shadows into light.

 

Presence is not static,

but dances with each breath,

each blink of an eye.

 

Wisdom arises not from

silent knowing alone,

but from the Symphony of lived experience,

from our stories and scars.

 

The view is not timeless,

but ever-evolving,

as the river of life flows,

we flow along within it.

          The cryptic meanings in some poems will evolve to my 3 brain cells one day! lol.

            And here I thought that crypts were for the dead 🤣 🕊 I know what you mean, just glad you humour such cryptology, even though it isn’t cryptocurrency 🙃

            The appeal of this poem to me is in its presentation and construction. Each frist line of a stanza presents the central thought that is expounded on in the following lines of the stanza just as would be in any standard paragraph but in condensed form and with a strong presenting idea. It is as if each line is a breath. It is powerful and breaths life.

            • arqios

              Yes! The breathe! That is also principle tenet of haiku- “a breathe’s thought” as if a sigh speaking out its truth. Thanks kindly 👍🏻🕊🙏🏻

                                      Like me! I blunder about so much Nan said I had an extra set of angels working overtime just to keep me on an even keel. God love me coz no one else will and such... some mothers do 'av 'em! (Frank Spencer much)
