We live in a rural area, and the incursion of building, whether high density housing, or business is killing our natural beauty and peace of mind. I concur with everything you\'ve said, sadly.

Good write N.
I give KP stagnant water to drink. I say to her \'It\'s green; eco-friendly, dear!\' lol.

This strikes at the heart of (progress?) or should I say growth. So nicely penned both reality and a metaphor as well and how we are poisoned by our own actions. Loved it Neville

Nicely done, Neville. A fine write. You really paint that picture of the sound and then the silence when it stops.

Corporate greed over environmental stress - don\'t get me going, but thanks for the prompt, Neville.

Nice one - thankfully there\'s still a lot of unspoilt countryside near where I am which I enjoy when I take Stanley for his walks. Which reminds me - I\'m running late must get some treats and poo bags and make for the door. Mind you he\'s fast asleep in his basket so it can wait for a bit..

That\'s true. I remember as a boy catching tadpoles in clear still water, and drinking from the running waters. Now we all have filtered water, and a thousand other fears.
I am looking forward to paradise revived.

Whoever \"she\" is she is sorely missed. I guess the end of time can cause one to focus more clearly.
Your poem leads us on an appreciation of time and of someone who used to fill that time,
The end of a \"ticking clock\" is great symbolism. Terrific poem. - Phil A.

The Object and Outcome of Dreaming Alone
Tom Dylan said:

A fine write, Neville. Different people have different dreams. Nicely done. The lines did remind me of a line in a Raymond Chandler novel. \"I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun.\"

We never miss things until they are gone they say. And how could we? What depth runs through this piece. Is it the item or clock, or is it time that is missed? The tangible verses the intangible. This is pulling me down a rabbit hole. I\'m going to see if I can climb back out before I go in too deep.

The Object and Outcome of Dreaming Alone
Cassie58 said:

And you wonder how relationships last as long as they do, and they often do. The female and male of our species. I haven’t met a male yet who doesn’t like his home comforts while his eyes wander, even if his heart doesn’t. Let’s celebrate the positives while acknowkedging the differences. It’s all in the genes. I doubt if it will ever change:). So poetically penned Neville. I love forget me nots but I also have loved his pay rises too lol.

The clock will stop ticking for all of us one day. That heart of ours won’t last forever. Make each day count. Have a very happy Tuesday Neville.

Interesting words Neville, men and women do have differing dreams but in life they can be composite partners.

KP\'s like some ticking clock at night - a loud tick, annoying, troublesome, etc!

Ah, the selfish male rises again. It\'s a wonder anyone finds the time for marriage. Especially these days.
Yeah, this is poetry. It has only one objective. - Phil A.

Cracked it, haven\'t you...What one is left to wonder is how a man and woman ever get it together for any length of time......

Bella Shepard said:

You\'ve done quite a good job differentiating between the male and female ego. And yet, with all the differences, they still manage to find amicable relationships, well most of the time. A very interesting and illuminating write my friend.

The poetic form of this poem is perfect in rhyme and meter, reflecting upon a progression of thought that is sublime. You never cease to amaze!

Ah the differences in males and females. So nicely expressed in short poetic lines. The difficulty of expressing these differences in a condensed form you have distilled ina few lines. Lovely!!

Comparing Uncertain Potentialities
MendedFences27 said:

Some deep thinking put into poetic form. Your theory offers \"divine immortality\" for \"love\" and why not?
Love is the one thing that we share universally. Scientists know that love exists but can\'t explain it. It also is the one emotion of mankind that is not totally self-centered.
Your little poem on love is actually a greatly powerful idea with much to defend it. It may cause a cosmic shift in our beliefs. I found it to be very stimulating. - Phil A.

A profound thought deeply rooted in faith and belief but so well stated here it seems logic. The wording was superb and it reads so smoothly.
