Such romance in a poem and in a dream. Nicely worded Norman you captured the elusive nature of love and dreams and tied them together. A wonderful poem and a fave

Nicely written. Your poem explores themes of solitude, nostalgia, and the passage of time, encapsulating the emotions tied to memories and the impact of past journeys on the present.

A fine write N.
Ahh, you got to the bus station at last (maybe walked there?) and a friend said to you \'Hello stranger; not seen you for 50 years\'. You reply:\' Yes, I was waiting for a bus so I could meet you\'. Doh!

Metaphors of a train, tracks for the train and on the face of the clock that is time. Those tracks the life journey and the tracks the memory which bad need to be erased. It is a bumpy ride. Well done

PENDANT
sorenbarrett said:
Memories evoked by a picture opened and closed. And so it is that the mind becomes the pendant and picture opened and closed. Well done Norman

A DREAM
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what a beautiful reflection. What struck me most is the contrast between the intimate details...the grass, the sand, the breeze...and the distant ships moving across the horizon. It creates a feeling of being both deeply present and slightly adrift at the same time. The dreamlike quality of the ending ties it all together perfectly. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this really moved me. There is such tenderness woven through these lines...a quiet ache for what once was and what remains only in memory. The whole poem feels like walking through a house after everyone has gone home. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This seems a poem of separation by the ending. A sense of sadness is conveyed by it. Well written

Brings me back to aging of favoured \'climbing\' trees, whose branches became brittle and climbing was no longer safe. Most thoroughly enjoyed 🕊️🙏

MEMORY
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this feels like a poem about reconciliation with the past. The bench, the sunlight, the summer memories, and the aging figure all come together to create a gentle meditation on healing. The ending is especially touching. Beautiful piece, Norman. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE SLENDER ROPES
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this resonated with me. The idea of poetry as both refuge and resistance is beautifully handled here. Not a hiding place born of surrender, but one that becomes a place of strength. Wonderful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

And now - a memory, a distant one, and that\'s a fact - of a bus turning up. You forgot what one looks like now?! lol.

Well written. Your poem explores the themes of memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time, focusing on how thoughts and memories can be both burdensome and liberating.
