Norman, what a devastating piece. The history is enormous, but you bring it into one intimate moment between a grandfather and child…love trying to shelter innocence even when nothing else can. That final lullaby absolutely breaks the heart. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

HALFWAY HOUSE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a haunting piece, Norman. The whole room feels saturated with lives that have passed through it…old songs, fading memories, empty chairs, and that quiet heaviness left behind when the night is over. One heck of a poem, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I can feel this poem although my ignorance prevents its full understanding and that means something. When a poem can touch those that don\'t know its history it becomes universal. Nicely done

There is a rocking meter that with the rhyme provides a bit of melancholy to this poem and a sense of resignation in the wording finishes it well.

MY LONELY CALL
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a haunting piece, Norman. The stillness, passing hours, and remembered closeness all deepen the sense of a voice calling into a place where love no longer answers...quietly devastating and beautifully written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Loss and memories promote pain in this write Norman. It is felt by the reader and there is a sadness to it. A sadness in its loneliness. Nicely written my friend.

A fine write N. A lonely wait for you at that bus stop. All the other passengers gave up and went home. lol.
Oh lol, I read of a rusty bus stop being replaced in a village that has no bus service. They say \'It\'s in case buses do run here again!\' Bit like you waiting there. lol.

TO HEAVEN HIGH
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a striking poem, Norman! The darkness feels ancient and predatory as one sacred order collapses and another rises to dictate human identity…a haunting vision of our repeated submission. Excellent work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Man\'s religion can never exceed his intelligence and capacity for understanding. This poem takes one on a journey through time and religious belief. The idea itself is worthy of contemplation. Nicely done Norman.

BLOOD
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a strong piece, Norman. You keep the focus on those who get battered by life and then forgotten once everyone else moves on...and the fact that you wrote this decades ago only makes it more sobering. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE BREATH OF MOMENTS
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this is deeply moving. The loneliness feels immediate, but so does the history held inside those rooms...all the love, grief, prayer, anger, and life that once filled them. Beautiful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
