"clarity"
A whisper once lost in static
now finds its echo in the open air.
Doors unknocked begin to creak,
hinges remembering purpose.
Credentials stripped of costume,
the scoundrel stands bare—
not noble, not false,
just human in the storm.
The fifth season passes,
leaving behind a wet silence
and thunder that prances
instead of roars.
Reality bends, yes—
but even crooked lines
can sketch a truth.
D may not equal L × W,
but the shape still holds.
Powerlines tangle,
yet light arrives.
Synapses fire, and
something connects.
This is clarity—
not the absence of confusion,
but its quiet companion
waiting beneath the noise.

enjoyed this write
Thank you Norman (D), taking note of this for future writes. 🕊️🙏🏻
you are welcome
This one left me in a different land. I feel drifting somehow, vaguely aware that I have been here before. Nicely written
Oh wow, that was deep, Soren. I hope it was not so much drifting as to be unhealthy. 🕊️🙏🏻
Didn't hit any rocks or fall overboard but just a pleasant drift
That's really good to hear. Words can be tough to handle at times, more so when they are released. Pleasant drift is good!
Sometimes we don’t get rid of the questions; we just learn to live alongside them. Clarity is a quiet walk through tangled thoughts and odd turns, pausing to notice the beauty in what isn’t perfectly straight. It’s an invitation to settle in and listen for the gentle truths drumming their beat underneath.
Thanks for the Fave 🤩@CM
Quarterly makes for measly returns…
Oh I think we all seek clarity in this confusing life.I'm not sure I have found it.Like the poem says its waiting beneath the noise.A great poem.I enjoyed reading compadre
Thanks mate! A resounding affirmation there. Truly appreciated 🕊️🙏🏻
Sometimes you get the niggling feeling that welcome has been overstayed
The poem delves into themes of human vulnerability, the search for truth, and the nature of reality. It contemplates the interplay between confusion and clarity, portraying clarity as a companion to chaos rather than its opponent.
Thank you so much Friendship!
A life long search for clarity amongst the confusion as many do, I am sure it's there somewhere , but for me anyway it's very well hidden, enjoyed the read
It’s quite the big boat, thanks! 🙏🏻🕊️
When sometimes it seems too little too late… haha
Clarity is there arqios once we ever understand what is happening in this world, it may be a long time coming.
Andy
...and a long time coming it shall be! But is shall. 🕊️🙏🏻
Although I write my knowledge of words is not great and got a bit lost on the way but the when I got to bottom of this page. I could feel a pleasant wave.
Maybe clarity came my way.
Keep up the write
Much peace and respect
Inkredible wordsmithing demonstrated throughout .. so many best lines, the whole entity is that bloomin good .. Neville
Love the poem text image my friend! Really fits well. Love the poem too. A total fave. That last turn...“clarity not the absence of confusion, but its quiet companion”...hit me hard. Answers don’t always scream…sometimes they just wait beneath the noise. A beautiful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Dear, arqios,
A most enjoyable and intriguing poem. A life without confusion would be confusing in itself, companionless and of no need for clarity. What is one without the other and yet the twain shall never meet. Excellent, truly.
Fond regards,
Tony.
