Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻 often and again, away 🙏🏻🕊️
🕊 🙏🏻 often and again, away 🙏🏻🕊️
Secrets are secret
Truth cannot expound
Everything is vanity
No comfort to be found
Truth is relative
or so it is, they say
Life for us is short
no time to dry the hay
What Truth will illumine
Lies would then conceal
with ebony tusks uncover
wounds that would not heal

If you tell the truth it is easier to remember than trying to remember which lie you have told someone arqios.

So true, Andy! And the endless patching over with fresher lies to cover us the ensuing track of lies🙏🏻🕊️
A darker poem played on ebony minor keys. Truth is relative a theme to which I agree. Most intriguing and engaging nicely written in rhyme. Loved it.
Minor keys 🎹 are best played without maudlin sentimentality, it seems. Thanks so much Soren. Your constant support is most encouraging 🙏🏻🕊️
Being passed over is such a downer
I like the cadence here .It reads so well.A great exploration of the sadness of the human experience of truth and lies
I'm glad you said that, as I believe it is the lone redeeming point of this poem. And that enjoyment gives it a place for the reading public. As for the treatment ad exploration of its subject matter I have moved on to expound on them in other poems over the years. Thanks so much. Have an excellent long weekend.🕊️🙏🏻
Wow...you and I are vibing a VERY similar themes today! Love this, my friend. Love the Ecclesiastes reference, which my poem also hints at. I also love the play with opposites: Truth vs Lies...the positive progress of the one followed by the destructive regression of the other. Kind of like two steps forward, one (or many more steps) backward. This is a brilliant and very thought provoking poem, my friend. A must fave for me. 🌹👏
Glad to have been part of the vibing. Most appreciated 🙏🏻🕊️
Me too! Rock on my friend!
Superb work.
Thanks Thomas 🕊🙏🏻

Most thankful for your supportive words Salvia 🕊🙏🏻
Thanks@Damaso for the Fave🤩🕊🙏🏻
