I personally feel that man is dependent on time, and not vice versa, but the relationship definitely exists....
Happy new year to you and yours....

Atmosphere there in spades; the cooing is enough, without the added scenery. Best get off to Miami and beyond asap. Bon Voyage, Neville.

Amid The Echo of Doves
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Reading this feels like walking through memory rather than space. The warning not to linger carries care and sorrow together, and that combination feels deeply human. Well done, Neville!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Amid The Echo of Doves

Doves symbol of peace but I want to stay free of their droppings so I won\'t stand long underneath. Most interesting in that I have doves roost in the outer part of the rafters of my bedroom and occasionally one will come in through a hole and leave its memories behind. I hear them each morning as they awaken. A lovely poem Neville that gives one pause to think. Was it not Prince that released the song When Doves Cry? If you get close to Laguna Santa Catarina Brazil let me know I\'d meet you for a drink

Amid The Echo of Doves

Have a great time in Miami, the poet invites the reader to listen to the echoes of the doves, suggesting a connection to the past, while simultaneously cautioning against lingering in a space filled with nostalgia. The subject matter revolves around the experience of hearing these echoes in old, abandoned buildings, reflecting on what they represent: memories, lost time, and the bittersweet nature of remembrance.

Even in the lowest of stations and the most difficult of situations love prevails. A lovely portrayal Neville painted with a master\'s touch

Neville, this hit me hard. There’s tenderness and hunger pressed right up against despair here, and it never lets go. Love, survival, and collapse all breathing the same air. That ache lingers. Well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The breakfast scene and that final sidewalk land hard. There’s a lot of human ache packed in here.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, I feel this tension between scarcity and meaning…the sense that what remains is shadowed, yet still bound up with presence. The idea that our being gives time its shape resonates deeply. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Well written, your poem portrays a sense of longing and the fleeting nature of love and connection amid the harsh realities of life. It reflects on the juxtaposition of mundane, everyday experiences with deeper emotional yearnings.

Happy New Year Neville! This poem reminds me that our perception is what gives the universe its narrative. Here’s to another well-lived year whatever may come our way🕊️🙏🏻

Absolutely correct. Time is man-made and would not exist without humanity. However, Nature would still slog along, as it always has, which is why Man invented it and ways to keep track. From Sundials, clocks, watches, and calendars, to keep track of the shifting forms of Nature, Sunrise, Sunset, light, darkness., when to plant, when to reap, etc. Now, as we age, those reminders add to the expectancy (longest of shadows) of what awaits. You\'ve described this dilemma from man\'s point of view, \"without us, time.... would cease to exist.\" A great expression of our place within Nature and our relationship with passing time. Loved it. \' Phil A.
P.S. May your year be filled with happiness for you and all\\.

Glad to see you back my friend and a Happy New Year to you. This poem is philosophical indeed it is the old if a tree falls in the woods and there is no one there to hear it does it make noise. I love it I guess we can write off that few billion years before the earth cooled down enough to support life. Deep thought there Neville especially about the darkness that the future holds in store. I love the lines that state:
\"days that still lie
ahead of us
bare the longest
of shadows\"
Very nicely said.

Well, home, Neville, and Happy New Year. Well worded. Your poem revolves around the relationship between humans and the concept of time. The poem suggests that time is dependent on human perception and existence for its significance, and it conveys a sense of urgency and inevitability regarding the passage of time, especially in the face of darkness and challenges.

I am not sure how I missed this poem, Neville, but late is better than never! LOL! This is deeply reflective…the way you linger with what’s seen and slowly slipping away. It’s tender, patient, and quietly heavy. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Starting from Still till end- breathtaking. Simply words pregnant with meaning. Perhaps that is what a good poem is all about. A definite fave.

Neville this poem reads to all us old pots as the shards that we will become. But remember that what is discarded on the trash heap of today becomes the archeological find of the future. Not that I have any illusion that anything I write will survive more than today but maybe if it touches one soul it might make some difference. When teaching there was no greater joy than to see a pupil that made it big come back to thank for the inspiration that they said made the difference in their life. So your words have touched many, me included.
