Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻 see you all in June! 🙏🏻🕊️
🕊 🙏🏻 see you all in June! 🙏🏻🕊️
I love the wee and trippy hours of
after-midnight when these glass slippers
lay glistering in soft moonlight
while weary dreamers poise inked quills
to carve their thoughts onto pale parchment
from a woozy head -- too early in the day
to be about one's inescapable routines
too late of a night to do all else but swoon.
This is the cherished witching-hour in a life
where most everything is held, transfixed
in the baffling clarity of glad cerebration--
intoxicated Muses dance in celebration.

Re your comment: I doubt I will pick up on the thought of much cryptic stuff! lol. Good write A.
Aww… but you’ve been doing so marvellously; even Fido wags their tail🙏🏻🕊️
Ah I know those hours well my friend. So poetically stated in these few lines. Hours where one can write without guilt or being disturbed. Hours stolen from sleep and dreams to put them on paper for others to share. Your word choice is exquisite.
So interesting to learn of everyone’s process🙏🏻🕊️
I do most of writing over the night when the world appears at peace and sometimes accompanied by a libation or two to free the mind, enjoyed the read
Both freeing segments through differing methods; beautiful process🙏🏻🕊️thank you🕊️🙏🏻
You are very welcome
Here we go a writing
The midnight hour. It certainly is a creative time.The poem highlights the creative power of that time of night.Excellent poem.Enjoyed reading
Thanks compadre🙏🏻🕊️
This is often where I exist, my friend. That liminal space between life an death, reality and surreality, where the muse calls on those courageous enough to stay awake past delirium into the magical moments of the crisp, creative, conscious night. Well done on this! Well done! You've described my home! 🖤🌹👏
Ah, then I wasn’t imagining finding myself there! So great to be in good company🙏🏻🕊
Excellent write
Thank you Tony🙏🏻🕊️
You're welcome
Tremendous work.
So many things come into my mind in the wee small hours arqios.
Andy
All of which are good and happy, based on your postings 🙏🏻🕊️
definitely worth picking on - yes the muse does strike me sometimes at midnight, or sometimes after reading a good forward.
thanks for the inspiration
