The rich observational detail made the journey pass very quickly. No boredom on that trip.
Great experience.

The long journey on the bus is a journey of observation and marvel.
The young couple up the back snogging, kids in the middle running riot, the woman staring out the window running away, but never really getting there.
All of human behavior is on the bus, and the observer takes it all in, and when boredom sets in, and the raindrops game plays out, it\'s only then do you listen to someone elses pain that plays out in tunes.

A wonderful poem Thomas that brings back memories of summer rides. I can feel the heat and smell the odors of the ride. The countryside rolls on outside the window. A epic feel to this poem.

a powerful poem. of sadness, your poem captures the bittersweet memories of childhood journeys taken with a father, exploring themes of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time. It reflects on how travel, particularly by Greyhound bus, serves as a metaphor for life\'s journey and the emotional weight carried by both the poet and the other passengers.

Thomas, this carries a slow, unfolding sadness that never forces itself…just builds through detail, mile by mile. The people, the motion, the quiet moments…all of it settles into something that feels deeply real and hard to shake. Strong, grounded writing, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Happens to me too - some words and thoughts popping in when trying to rest, so yes, I too have learnt to keep a pen and paper handy; worst case scenario o just type it on my phone and keep it as a draft to review and keep or discard in the morning 😬

It\'s a curse of the A.M. Don\'t know how many times I\'ve said to myself, I\'ll remember it in the morning, but never do, and Likewise I use paper, now the mobile.
A few occasions when I\'ve come in hammered, some poems get written that I couldn\'t remember writing. Strangely enough, they were always warning poems.
Probably why I don\'t drink anymore.

This sounds so familiar to me Thomas for I do the same and yes feel the same that sometimes I should have let them get away for they were not worth the price of lost sleep.

Thomas, this carries that restless, late-night energy…like the mind won’t stop producing, even when the body is done. That image of the protagonist slipping away under the light stays with me…how thoughts refuse to be pinned down. I’ve felt that same tension, trying to catch what keeps moving just out of reach. And that closing turn lands perfectly…sometimes it’s better to let them go. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Promises, promises - But before that a definite feeling of hope as the vacation/interlude progressed... you tell it the way it feels like it is, Thomas. Followed you right through.

Thomas… this carries a quiet, heavy honesty…just letting things unfold without trying to dress them up. That return at the end…where nothing really changed…that’s what stays. It’s real, and it lingers. Strong, powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas, this really lands…that slow unraveling, especially in moments like the keys where nothing has changed but everything feels off. The tension between what’s real and what’s believed just keeps building. There’s something deeply unsettling here. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This Thomas seems like the rambling thoughts that one continually has during the day. It feels somehow a bit real but scarry in the recognition of that. Well done

Very relatable indeed. I love these lines - \"where the wind is crisp
and the earth feels younger than me\"
