Notice of absence from arqios
πŸ•Š πŸ™πŸ» often and again, away πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

 

The stars do not answer,
but they do not turn away.


We stand beneath their quiet fire,


where doubt cannot hold, and something
- small, vast, immeasurable - finally shifts.

                                      Funny, huh? Charming and so beautifully rendered with haunting imagery whose delicacy appeals, inevitably, with a lingering poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

                                      • arqios

                                        Funny enough for change to transpire, however minute the degree. Thanks so much CMπŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

                                        Something so Wonderful just looking Up and Seeing light that took Centuries to reach us.
                                        An Astronomer last year said the Film 'Titanic' made him angry because when Rose was in the Sea looking at the Stars: She would not have seen those Stars because of her Position in the World. The Film Makers put any old Configuration on the screen. But picky I think. A very Deep poem.

                                          Picky in Fiction and Art but sloppy in real, offline life-moments... I can be the same sometimes, LOL Thanks kindly πŸŒŒπŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ
