cavernous

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻 often and again, away 🙏🏻🕊️

 

 

🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻
Could vaulted vase

contain collected tears,

echoing- -with sighs,

now solidly trapped

within its chamber

where this bloom

⚱️tears away ⚱️

defying gravity

and yesterday?

      This poem clever in its writing as well as form also used a homograph to add even greater appeal and charm. Unique in that the homograph leaves this poem up to interpretation of how it is read. This is a definite Fave

                  Haunting. "...Thou tellest my wanderings: put Thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not all in Thy book?" (Ps 56:8) are you referencing this? Fascinatingly rendered in the seeming shape itself with excellent imagery and a poignancy which culls the thing itself. Thank you for sharing.

                    Not a commonly referenced but quite essential life and prophetic scripture when cross-referenced with the one in Revelation. I guess, comforting and close to heart.Many thanks 🙏🏻🕊
