Oo arr Jim, she be knowing what t\'is all about - look, the evidence be in her arrrms...
If she goes with \'em she won\'t have much use for her attire...could I have it ? (You never know your luck in a big city come Saturday night....)
Definitely smelt the salt and fresh breeze there, Neville.

Wot\'s this - a confessional?
You laying on a couch while another trickcyclist listens intently (or however youse do it........)
Worth a ponder, though.....

Like he could carry all that indecision but he had no chance to haul it.

Maybe, perhaps, possibly, not sure, could be, hmm, bit doubtful, can\'t be certain, etc, blah, blah, that this is a good write N. Enough waffling from me!

Bella Shepard said:

It seems the aftermath of tragedy, in which this mysterious Mary dwells. A quiet reflection and perhaps renewal of hope? You treat this with kind, gentle hands and mold it beautifully.

Mede me think of a recovering war-torn village or city church. Some can find belief in any form when survival is at stake. A very succinct presentation of images and leaving behind the question of faith.
\"an extra penny in the collection box\" - brings us all back down to Earth. Faith is what you make it. - Phil A.

I\'m going for context (I\'m in a contextual mood today)... Wasn\'t (broken windows) just after the dissolution of the monasteries or something, was it........??

wording!
a thousand people write the same story
but rarely
deliver it with the distilled brevity and eloquence
of a True poet, like you:
\'Held fast tween
grey space
and golden rays ..
Those that
yet survived
to shine
through broken
stained glass\'
Thank you! what Poetic treats you served this morning..
(hope you n yours have a peaceful week Hyung
my thoughts are with her 🙏)

Ah Neville! I don\'t know whether this is derived from a personal memory or, just an observation. Regardless, it took me to church!! I don\'t know why. By the way, that\'s my mom\'s name! 💜

If I\'m not mistaken it was also your mother\'s name dear Nev. A close look through a door which I very rarely enter personally but so very beautifully written. 💖

When All Said and Done it’s All Over
L. B. Mek said:

its always heartbreakingly morose
when the most certain pillar in our life
crumbles, before our eyes
in that image, we witness a loss
we can never replace...
but
that\'s why, we can never take love for granted
I like the song
\'I\'m going to love you
like
I\'m going to lose you\'
because it love\'s truth
distilled
it\'s too late to wonder why, after
it\'s our now that matters
giving it all, in our very day
every conversation
every embrace and kiss
leaving nothing to chance
loving, in a way that will insure
come what may, we will have
no regrets..
(I assume this was inspired
by patients or other external influences
so i won\'t worry for you, Hyung)
a Great write!

Dang it! An extra penny? Some places pass round TWO hats (collection plates) in the same service.
I reckon that\'s being silly - and greedy!
St Paul in the Bible is fair on financial giving. He does not say - give what you haven\'t got!

The Sound of Darkness
spilleronsheet said:

Over the years….we were the same….but still not the same…..so was our way with darkness….we feared the nights and nightmares….but who knew the same darkness became respite…to hide our wounds from ugly eyes….totally immersed in your poetry dear Neville…

\"a single act of kindness\" is welcome at any stage, and if it gives some comfort, then perhaps some peace of mind. Beautifully written, your sailor\'s lament!

Hemingwayesque in its quality and tone, and I mean it as a compliment-thanks as always for the treat

Was he Black Beard the Pirate, for they slashed his head off and shot him silly. Just kidding. Great Tale thy weaves. Of kindness, and doom. My heart doth sigh!💗❤💓👍

Love lost can feel like an expected and unexpected ‘stab and kidney punch’ in one-to love and loss, I salute!

When All Said and Done it’s All Over
MendedFences27 said:

It can end as starkly as you have described it. I recall two acquaintances who simply went home to an empty house., completely empty, everything was gone not even a bed to sleep on. In your poem the pain of loss is transposed into physical pain, \"stab and a kidney punch.\" This conveys the pain nicely. I also noticed the tongue-in- cheek of \" I regret to inform you\"... clever. \"All said and done,\" a most intriguing poem. - Phil A.
