arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️

Turn around

start the dance

shadows bound

spare a glance.

 

Step to light

night takes hold

swift as flight

dreams unfold.


Hope reveals

hearts entwine

spinning wheels

threads align.

  • Cheeky Missy

    If only we heard the strains whileas your lyrics trip down the page, I daresay we'd waltz gaily. Fascinating and sweetly rendered with excellent imagery and a delicious poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Thank you as well for the note on it!

    • arqios

      My thoughts exactly, the three count brought a waltz to mind, only this one with words minus the musical score!🙏🏻🕊️
