world on mute

arqios

 


Solitude settles lightly—
a stealthy shifting of space,
a softening of everything
that usually presses close.

 

It steadies the air—
lets thought move cleanly,
lets the World fall back
where only inland oceans remain.

        Solitude clears the space around us allowing us to see more clearly, to breath more deeply, to hear more profoundly not just without but within. With no threats no barriers are needed, no obstructions of our view no buffers to our hearing. A lovely write Cryptic

        Arqios, I deeply relate to the relief of everything finally falling away...leaving room to breathe, think, and simply exist. This truly spoke to me, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

          Good write A. Then I came along and said 'BOO!!' and ruined everything of silence, quietness, peace, etc. lol.
