Unseen – 31st January 2026

~ shaun tenzenmen

my

etchings,

often seen,

wait in my room;

fingers gently trace along the edges….



….a long soft sigh often requires tissue.

a tear drop fell.

those etchings

were not

seen.

Shared with W3 #196 – suggestive tetractys

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Philosophy As Medicine Of The Soul

When the pressures of our lives
start to set our minds adrift
Recognised when to tap the brakes
and return to philosophy for a lift

  7. You’ve turned the euphemism into something touching. Love it.

    (Seeing your comment to Elizabeth, I couldn’t resist looking up its origins. According to one site I read, the phrase was first used in an Alfred Hitchcock film, Blackmail. So, there you go!).
