untitled 575 ( what lingers on )

arqios


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

 

we are mere echoes

whispered through Time's corridor

shadows of the past

 

lost in Time's embrace

faint whispers of what once was

echoes fading fast

 

shadows in the dusk

memories of days gone by

echoes linger on

        'Tis True. We are but dust. Here one minute, floating off in the breeze the next. What lingers on? What remains. While people who knew us are alive, memories. Regardless, our echoes linger on, bouncing from place to place until they are heard no more. Profoundly powerful and true. Well done on this, friend! 🌹👏

                Ah, thus quoth the wizened sage, holding up a shriveled finger to the more youthful listener who was still too immature to fully grasp what was being said, yet caught the import. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a lingering poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

                  So glad you got that… I knew you would but somehow it takes a read read to read it, most don’t read that way. Thanks so much, means the world 🙏🏻🕊
