where your hand was

arqios

last night’s rain—
the mug still warm
where your hand was

            Quite a lot in a few Words.
            Sometimes a few words speak Volumes.

            • arqios

              And beyond loud also voluminous compression 🙏🏻🕊️

                arqios, this is beautifully restrained… a fleeting moment that still carries presence and memory. It’s quiet, but it lands deep. It stays with you. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                • arqios

                  Probably time to mix it up a bit in regards to restraint 🤩🙏🏻🕊️

                • Goldfinch60

                    Likely not, Sam. Thanks 🙏🏻🕊️

                  • Salvia.S

                    Warmth fading faster than the rain did. That’s the whole story. Nicely written

                    • arqios

                      Thanks Salvia; much appreciated as always 🙏🏻🕊️

                    • NafisaSB

                      the warmth will remain where the bond is strong, even when the person has left....short and so beautiful

                      • arqios

                        Thanks, Safina. A true imprint 🙏🏻🕊️
