presence

arqios


presence

 

 

missing lines

breathe

between us,


their silence

teaching us


     listen harder,


           believe

      that absence
      is also presence.

    I really enjoyed this write. It's the same with music and songs really...I like to hear the deliberate empty bars without any lyrics, the space between spaces if you wish.

    An enjoyable read.

          Indeed my friend what is not said is often more important that what is said. It is in the pauses that the true story is told. Nicely done Cryptic

            A well placed pose is definitely more than what can be usually read as hesitation. Thanks dear friend πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

              Wow, Arqios...this is minimal, thoughtful, and quietly haunting. The silence, the spacing, and the sense of absence all work together beautifully. Really lovely piece, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

                And hopefully not minimalist in response to your excellent comment. Therein, absence has its own presence. Thanks, Tittu. πŸ™πŸ•ŠοΈ

                Quite true. A Pause can say so much.

                • arqios

                  Indeed. Thanks, KevinπŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ
