This is wonderful and touching to read, there are reminders in there for everyone for the journeys they have been on, but more importantly what is important in life to a child, pleasure to read.

A Person can read this and see somethings from their own Lives.
Traveling back Home and seeing familiar Buildings is Universal.
A fine write.

Seems Greyhound buses were were an inseparable part of your childhood. I\'m glad you gave me the opportunity to go on these trips. The detail looms large and I feel I\'ve been on many such journeys with you.
Enjoyed the rides.

Sometimes the world is not enough, not with other worlds to conquer.
Mind you, that was yesterday, today is another day to play.
Wonder if Trump feels like this.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Thomas, there’s a strong movement here…from trying to control and shape everything into what you want, to recognizing something greater already in place. That shift from wanting to knowing, and then letting go of that need to engineer it all…it carries real weight. Really well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
