Another poem from The Making of a Broken Man which is still my current reading. An intriguing little write. How do you cure yourself of someone I ask? Maybe like a light switch, turning them off, obliterating all memory. Why would you do that unless there is a great deal of pain. Happy Friday dear Neville. Weekend’s nearly arrived.

This is becoming a habit, Neville.

This is me showing concern:

Are you on a \'Six months left\' schedule?

If not, then carry on remorseless.

At 80 I look forward to an unlimited number of years ahead, and why not,
I don\'t get to choose when, so why not look forward to forever.
Your poem highlights the different perspectives of the aged. It\'s purely a numbers game. You will live until you die. Make the most of it. - Phil A

I wonder what I will be next sometimes. Is that waiting or wanting? Odds are I\'ll be Chinese or Indian. There are so many more of them than White Dudes.

Reminds me of my mum who told me on several occasions she wanted to die. Distressing to hear that , knowing there is nothing you can do to ease her mind . Your poem raises many issues Neville. Much to consider and ponder here. No easy answer.

Indeed there is Neville. Those with a purpose and those without at any age. Short but full of meaning this poem reminds one to keep busy while waiting.

Talking legislation here: Right to die? Dying with dignity.
So for everyone reading/contributing – are you able to make the request?
In New South Wales we now have the very limited right.
Thanks for raising this issue Neville.

Oh my... at 70 I think I am way too young to understand this! Will I be this morose someday? (-:

Tue words Neville, I don\'t want to go yet but I know there will come that day and that is OK too.

It was an interesting word she chose to use, interactable. And a very interesting exchanage which I presume ended by signing on the dotted line. All was well I hope.

Quite the encounter. The less said the better. Best not to engage in questioning, just make statements.
The directness of your poem gives it the sense of honesty, and her final remark a sense of guilt. Loved it. - Phil A

Well written, Neville. I don\'t question strange.

Doggerel Dave said:

I woulda asked how you spell \'intracitable\' and then the definition and then pursued the conversation (closed questions) in that direction.... I\'m not fond of evasion generally, just save it for special occasions….

Sometimes we ask for more than we want to know, or should I say ignorance is bliss. Great build up in this clever write.

Your words made me think of the phrase, the lunatics are running the asylum. The brakes have well and truly gone in our messed up country at the mo. I like both versions of your title, but it’s the JH one I recall most. Written by Dylan. Was it about Vietnam. Lucky you in November. Have a good Wednesday Neville.

Letting Go of The Light
Cassie58 said:

Not a subject we want to dwell on, but one we do think about and talk about on occasions. After 45 years of togetherness, the separation would be excruciating for me, but I know I would cope somehow, because my nans, my mum and my sister all coped. I would be walking in their footsteps. My husband John feels much the same way you do. There is a lot of love and togetherness in your words Neville. A beautiful poem to sum up a long relationship with many memories.

I\'ve often thought of such loss, and you have put into words the very feeling. This poem runs deep in emotion that touches the soul. Beautiful!

A fine write, mate, and a good point. And love the Bob Dylan reference too.

A wonderful tribute to Dylan Thomas here Neville,. Unlike he though this is romantic and most touching. Loved it.

But now I\'m in the dark - I let go of the light - me lamp, or candle, or torch, or whatever gives light! lol.
