into the arms of night

arqios


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


 

Embrace the evening, let it wrap you
in its gentle whisper, softly gilding
each breath towards a tranquil rest.

Welcome the night, with open heart,
accept its peace, its quiet song,
for life's dance needs both light and shadow.

Surrender, not in defeat, but in grace,
allowing the natural flow of time
to cradle your spirit with tender hands.

The stars don’t resist their twilight,
nor does the moon fight its fade.

In the stillness of this night,
find a beauty in release,
the serenity of surrender,
as the world pauses to breathe.

Bathe in the calm of dusk,
the soft embrace of nightfall,
and let go, with gentle acceptance,
into the welcoming arms of sleep.

            Whether metaphor or not this poem holds its beauty and sings on to sleep. Should the metaphor be true so will death come too.

            • arqios

              Yes indeed. I had an inkling you would delve into that! The poem has met its revealing. Thanks Soren 🙏🏻🕊

                          A most calming poem, soft words of embrace into a restful night or maybe something even longer. Stillness, serenity, calm, gentle, kind vocabulary. A beautiful piece arqios.

                          • arqios

                            Thank you Cassie, even as a child I had always that notion about the role of Night in our lives. 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊
