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

Tristan Robert Lange said:
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.

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.

Five very important words, for the shadows of the past are with us, and the rememberance of those who fought so bravely should be revered. It us up to us to strengthen generational memory in the hope that we can pass on the values that make us stronger together, that we may put destructive human folly to rest. Eloquent and profound my friend!

Neville this poem offers a reverent and solemn picture to an irreverent and violent generation. One where a low cloud formation brings ideas that their online memory is running short. Tommies carved of metal bring to their mind heavy metal music now out of date. This poem sets different with our generation where defending one\'s nation and values was something honored and valued. Something that seems to be fading away. Great write my friend

This is really hard hitting. A raw, honest, timely and powerful expression. I love how you gave Gaea a voice and didn’t hold back on the urgency. It’s a tough truth, but you’ve captured it with such clarity. Thanks for sharing this with us. 🙏🕊️
