The Uncomfortable Silence
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! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

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

Thomas, I feel and understand your position perfectly, as I feel very much the same way. I do believe this to be a perfect depiction of old age.

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Obituary/dedication which pulls no punches and is all the better for that.
Usual richness of detail you do so well, Thomas.

That\'s why only ex drinkers can get through to people.
You have to walk the walk before the talk.
Every addict is someone. Someone at some time that led the normal life and had the same dreams we all have.
This is why the steps are so important. Great write.

That is what I love about your poems Thomas the grit of everyday, the real and the living that go into them. They are like something that one can identify with a part of all of our pasts, shadows of memories we all have. This one no less projects that feeling of avoiding things that remind us of loss or pain now that something or someone is gone and the sadness of how they went. This one packs a lot of emotion my friend.

\'The People we love become Old Polaroids\'. A fine line . In the end that\'s what we\'ll become.
A fave for sure.

A beautiful message on how the world keeps spinning and sometimes in our control but mostly on natures whims.

A powerful poem. Your poem explores the futility of holding on to anger, pride, and resentment, highlighting life\'s transience. I love how you encourage us readers to embrace kindness, forgiveness, and the present moment, emphasizing that life is too short to be consumed by grudges or the quest to be right.

Maybe it’s the only thing we carry with us

Thomas, this really moved me. You capture recovery as more than escaping destruction…it is reclaiming choice, creativity, and the ordinary pleasures that once felt impossible. The warmth and gratitude throughout this are beautifully earned, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Must admit, herbs and spices totally confuse me.
In saying that, I have become a youtube chef in the making.
At some point I\'m going to really impress myself.

Tastes, habits and people change and what was once acceptable becomes nothing more than a past memory. Hopefully things get better and one learns as one ages. A great poem Thomas
