A great portrait of a \'\'60\'s - \'70\'s \"Hero\" - certainly got the hippie girls in for a while (if he wanted them...........) but time moved on.....
Needless to say, I enjoyed that, Neville....

Good write N.
You hoping the Summer is unfinished? Are we all hoping?!
Dis he look like Jesus? It depends, if he was of Middle Eastern appearance (Israel). He would not have been white or black or Chinese or whatever. But you mean the beard!
I\'m going to the Co-op. It\'s in the Mid-West. (do shut up now Orchi. lol)

A very meaningful write N. As my own Dad nears closer and closer to his last days, I\'m seeing him in a new light that I never expected to. I\'ve learned to appreciate more and more. 🤔

A truly exceptional write. Taking time to \"ease into a favorite chair\" gives the sense of a peaceful passing, and \"silvered notes\" lends musical association. 0f whom you speak would have enjoyed the sense of the moment. - Phil A.

Neville,

What a wonderful read.
I especially liked…

“dancing wild and blindly
within the silvered notes of his once
dark hair ..”

Upon the Arms of Favourite Chairs
Laura🌻 said:

Neville,

Aah the feeling of love, of safety, and of contentment once the arms of one chair are shared with your loved one.

I enjoyed this wonderful reminder of two hearts beating as one.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Wow and what a way to call closing on life that ends in easy-chaired smiles with cosy acceptance. Hey and good to go too when dreams are still on the wild side mon ami.............x

\' Way to go, Nev. Smooth and easy.... Great portrait.

Now for a reviver (he wouldn\'t want you to stay sad forever) why not try (word association inspired) Closing Time (LC) One of my many faves in his catalogue.

Magic Bead
Dove said:

Mystery beads, satin curtains, such elegant objects to behold, but the real beauty is how you spin words, or rather weave them ! More so like a gem , she hid her valuables until she deemed him worthy of discovery

Doggerel Dave said:

Yes – the rough was tolerable when I was young, but wondered why it had to be: the later years and the smooth, comfortable is something I’ll always be grateful for, as I no longer have the energy….

Good write Neville.
I though you lost the \'u\' on ya keyboard. I look out for \'pon\'. You can look out for \'e\'er\' or even \'e\'ermore\'. I lost the \'v\'. lol.
I\'m deeply depressed now I\'ve not seen a \'pon\' today! heehee.

Fay Slimm. said:

Long-time relationships can get that way where comfort comes first -- but passion that never fades to boredom makes use of worn steps, worn chairs and all manner of exciting positions methinks. Am smiling at this weekend bit of deep whimsy on which to ponder and imagine some more................x

Good enough to explore, yes N. For poets are we, and poets leave no stone unturned is search of truth. 👍

Neville,

Your poem’s title is intriguing. It piqued my curiosity to give it a read. Glad to have done so. I found your words too good to ignore. An ingeniously thought-out brief poem that will last a long time in this reader’s mind.

When You Find These Words
L. B. Mek said:

Amen!
\'what is brevity, in poetry
they - task, wrongly\'
Here - read, and realise
how you can weave
a million dreams
to be imagined, differently
by what each reader: gleans...
(your subtle brilliance
at its unassumingly, penetrative
Best! my friend)
when you can execute poetry\'s
transformative artistry with such
humble - accessible words, why bother
writing extra pages of explanatory lines
for those, too: ignorant
to read, what\'s been outlined
so accessible and emphatically: transparent!

Doggerel Dave said:

Yep - so shall I do....

PS: Neville - why do you always give us shorties here?
Couldn\'t you one day present something longer? \"Laid bare & Waiting\" would be good....
