Thomas, what a powerful and relatable piece. The humor keeps the anxiety human, while the ending transforms the entire struggle into a personal act of perseverance. External recognition becomes irrelevant…the victory is refusing to abandon yourself again. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It\'s amazing how some Authors can churn Stories out like James Patterson . He seems to have one on the Shelves every week. and some every Year or Two.
Must be a lot of Pressure being a Writer.
Am enjoyable Read as always.

Sometimes deadlines are great, you have to get something written down.
On the other hand, if you\'ve not got a deadlines the fridge calls your name and you promply reply.
It\'s just finding a subject to write about. On another site, I would write half a story, pass it over to Lily who would finish it. She would do the same. Worked great.
After awhile we couldn\'t remember who wrote what. lol

I can identify with this Thomas on another site pressure to join a group, enter a contest and yet that is not the reason I write. I write what I feel for myself and if others like it wonderful if not it is therapy. Yet I hear you with the response to challenge and to stretch one\'s limits. So in this soliloquy I have to say I feel you.

Thomas, damn…this one hits home. We’ve gained the ability to put poetry in front of nearly anyone on earth while simultaneously losing the ability to keep anyone still long enough to receive it. Powerful and painfully relevant, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

As my old teacher said. It\'s all about the meter.
God, he did my head in.
Probably right though, the poem has to grab you, otherwise the blond girl passing by has got the eye and its gone.

\"Learn to be still\" - a hard ask in today\'s world but what must be done if you don\'t want to be swallowed whole by it. I think it\'s just easier for people to watch or discuss \"detached content\" then to be real and scare people; but hey....that\'s our job as poets. Hold a mirror up. Love your style - quick, precise and descriptive.

Thomas you have succeeded in putting into words what I have been thinking about and fumbling over for some time. People hardly read anymore preferring audio books and even that falls pale to video games and streaming or even tic toc peoples attention has grown short. Nicely written my friend and a fave

Beautiful, Thomas...there’s something profound in recognizing that writing doesn’t always require opening a vein. Sometimes the work is simply paying close enough attention to an ordinary room, an animal at the window, or a stranger passing by to realize that life is happening everywhere. Wonderful reflection, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A serious write! Starting with Hemingway\'s statement, you develop it and express your own vision of the subject.

There are times when your mind is blank when searching for an Idea.
Then you find Inspiration is right under your Nose, in these small details of life.
A good Write.

That indeed is poetry my friend noticing the little things and being able to articulate them in ways that others have not thought of. Well done

Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a deeply meaningful poem, Thomas. The struggle to embrace Sabbath feels profoundly authentic...especially when a lifetime of relentless productivity has taught us to feel guilty for honoring our human limits. This reached me personally, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

sorenbarrett said:
Thomas this one makes sense even as a kid to be told one must rest was not something to be looked forward to. Motors need continual running and machines rust when not used. An athlete needs continual warming up and stretching to not pull muscles. Written in such an understandable language. Loved it Thomas

Stillness and silence can kill to a life built on constant motion. When we allow ourselves to simply exist, things begin to get peaceful and become truly liveable. Good stuff, Thomas. 🕊️🙏

Thomas, this hit me hard. The honesty in it is relentless, and because of that, it never feels sentimental. That final turn landed like a punch…a reminder that survival carries its own responsibility. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
