beneath the nightingale’s call

arqios


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

 

Beneath the Nightingale’s Call

 

In the quiet spaces of her mind,

whispers stir, hidden beneath the surface,

Philomela’s muted cries transformed

a subtle but insistent call.

 

Philomela's essence, submerged,

finds expression in the unseen,

a realm where thoughts blend with shadows,

and truth reveals itself in dark scenes.

 

The nightingale's song emerges,

not merely a melody of freedom,

but a current carrying her essence

beyond what’s often barely audible.
