Songs of Passing is a collection of reflective poems about the passage of life, memory, love, loss, nature, and the quiet mysteries that accompany every human journey.
Rather than offering answers, these poems linger where certainty ends?among changing seasons, fading voices, forgotten places, and the enduring search for meaning. Written in a clear, contemplative voice, they invite the listener to pause, reflect, and inhabit the silence between one moment and the next.
This audiobook is meant to be experienced slowly, allowing each poem to stand on its own while becoming part of a larger meditation on what it means to pass through the world.
Autorentext
Rubén Alfons is a Uruguayan poet, lyricist, and composer born in San Carlos, Maldonado, Uruguay. His voice was shaped by the streets rich in stories and the silences that speak louder than words. A lifelong seeker of truth through language and music, he has participated in literary workshops such as *Movimiento Cultural Carolino* and *Poetas del Siglo XXI*, where his craft evolved in dialogue with others.
His work has reached international audiences through anthologies like *Con luz propia* (Paraguay) and *Maresía* (Argentina), and his short stories have been recognized in national contests such as *Maldonado te cuento*. As both a songwriter and a poet, Rubén's creative journey bridges the spoken and the sung, always grounded in human emotion, resilience, and introspection.
With *Ardence*, he offers readers a personal and universal reflection?a poetic map drawn with scars, silence, and unyielding light.
