Dan Williams said:

Oh, there is always room for tragic, heroism maybe not so much. \"The scaffold, a dark spectre, looms ever closer\" covers a lot of ground. Nice.

\"People together, alone.\" Reminds me of the Bon Jovi song, \"Living in Sin\", \"You can talk but still say nothing / You stay together but alone.\" Indeed. So very true. A powerful write my friend. 🙏❤️

It comes in many forms feeling on your own, individual isolation, an individual in a crowd, or even a group of people battling on their own, feeling the world has ignored them. Mor about todays mindset, only worry what`s on our doorstep and don`t look down the street enough. Enjoyed the thought provoking read

Words to give thought.I particularly loved \"people together, alone\" so often true and in the deepest sense always true. A poem of increasing depth the more it is read

Wonderful words argios and that passage:

\"Remember, our lives are more than this moment,
we endure in the hearts of those we leave behind.\"

is so meaningful.

A wonderful rendering of Charles\' Dickens\'s \"A Tale of Two Cities\" and the haunting picture of the Reign of Terror it presents. Not too heavy for my tastes friend. Well done on this...for real! 🌹👏

A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens. Sydney Carton being the hero. Taking the place of his beloved’s husband. He also offered comfort to the seamstress before they both met their fate. What a book, what a celebration of English Literature and you have composed a very fine poem here, inspired by that classic. Well done arqios.

In this a hint of Dickens and a tale of two cities. Heroism is always inspirational and at the heart of many a poem. Well told and in poetic story form. Nicely done my friend

read to your satisfaction

As Emily Dickinson said, ‘There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away’.
Your words became a bit ‘Hypnotic’ as I went along, telling me ‘Read a Book’.
Which is one of my Loves.
Just finished ‘A Christmas Carol’, I like to read it every December .
A unique way to express Reading in a Poem. Nice One.

With age comes wisdom. Perhaps one of the wisdoms is to live in the present. The numbers do not matter. The poem gave me a feeling of being carefree but with grace. Really enjoyed it

I\'m so very deeply sorry for your loss my mother was 64 my own brother was just 25 sometimes I write about it, you do well in your wisdom and advice in my case I didn\'t get to say goodbye to either of my special people, I guess we can call it living without the very thought that it would be the last time, it happens every time anyone says goodbye, and we should all be grateful that we have this life in the first place. sending love and hugs 🌹

Ah...I remember when youth drug...now time seems non-existent! LOL! Either way, it is the journey we are on and I find myself embracing it, removing my foot off of the gas or breaks and coasting! LOL! Of course, there are those extreme grade uphills and downhills! But hey, that\'s life! Wonderful write, my dear friend! Lots to think about. 🌹👏

I am surrounded by young people. I wouldn’t want to go back, but neither do I want to fast forward. I no longer celebrate birthdays. Age is irrelevant. My inner child is still very much present. I have lost so many loved ones before their time, that I consider myself fortunate. The wrinkles, don’t bother me much, they tell me I have lived, my granddaughter helps choose my clothes, I try very much to live in the moment but need to work on it more. I don’t feel any different than I did decades ago. I am content with what I have got. Your poem arqios, made me take stock. We all need to do that from time to time to truly appreciate our blessings.

Gives me a sense of some one roaming free and not being restricted by the confines of time, another enjoyable read.

This poem and principally its title left a feeling of care free. I live in the moment and so to me a decade is only seen retrospectively and it seems that it was only yesterday. A intriguing poem Cryptic

For example, I can see a future in which everyone realizes that nuclear waste is inappropriate for final disposal sites and dumps it in the ocean, but will I find like-minded people?
