Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
In the shadows of our broken selves,
Pieces of you linger, unable to absolve.
A mosaic of memories etched in time,
Yet surely will fade when we depart.
Each shard holds a story of pain,
Locked in the crevices of our hearts.
These remnants cannot forgive,
And they too will vanish into the void.
When we are no longer here,
The ripples of our past dissipate.
Fragmentation eludes forgiveness
And in our absence, shall cease to be.

The depths of this poem requires multiple readings and time to digest its meaning. There is a sense of emotive conceptualization that goes with this poem. It is hard to describe but a deja vu, I have been here before feel. Very nicely worded.
Super glad that you have pointed that out Soren… there is a continuing inner struggle in making the conceptualisation more articulated. 🙏🏻🕊
This to me sums up Existentialism.There is sadness and despair here.A lack of forgiveness.Strong powerful poem.
Thanks compadre, that speaks to how the dynamic shifts and coalesces between both parties. 🙏🏻🕊
To forgive is possible sometimes, to forget is a different ball game, enjoyed the read
That’s the whole in a pinhead, good stuff; thanks ever so kindly🕊🙏🏻
You are very welcome
Well written,Your poem explores the themes of loss, memory, and the inability to forgive oneself and others. It reflects on the idea that our experiences—especially painful ones—leave lasting imprints on our lives, but ultimately, these memories will fade when we are gone.
Thank you kindly 🙏🏻🕊
Leauges deep this poem is, rewarding multiple readings. It presents a complex relationship between memory, pain, and forgiveness...and truthfully, I have never understood "forgiving and forgetting". It seems impossible for a human to forget, not matter how hard one tries. Besides, what good would forgetting do? How would one know not to treat others in that specific way if it never happened to them, etc. No, I do not believe forgetting it s a requirement for forgiveness. Perhaps, by forgetting, one means not bringing it up over and over or dwelling on it, but that really is not forgetting, it's just choosing to shelve or ignore. Anywho, I digress. Philosophically, what does happen to our forgiveness when we die? The concept of fragmentation really resonates in the physical, emotional, psychological sense. We die and then the remants of those times that forgiveness was needed are in the memories of those still living. Only in from a theological/faith perspective can we begin to conceive of forgiveness going anywhere beyond our physical lives. All of this to say, you've crafted a wonderful poem here, my friend, that has such depth I cannot wait to see what's next in the probable trilogy or more. 🖤🐦⬛🙏
Being from last year’s musings it may be a trek to get on track again, for that sequel, unless the Muse happens to make a sudden apparition on the theme’s behalf… we shall see! Thanks kindly🙏🏻🕊
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return unto to God who gave it.
Indeed…much to consider there🙏🏻🕊
We will always move on in life arqios no matter what has happened.
