You have found the perfect balance between the value of each moment in our lives, and time which it is necessary to monitor (I had forgotten it was Sunday when I attempted a quick shop at my very local store).
Clearly your message is never let the latter prioritize itself over the former, and as such you have nailed your feet firmly to reality’s floor, Thomas.

A meditation on how quickly time passes, especially as one gets older, and why that realization makes ordinary moments feel more precious. Well Done Brother

Thomas, this hit me hard. Time accelerates so quietly that the ordinary moments become increasingly precious...and that corvid flight at the close is absolutely perfect. Dark, communal, and moving toward a destination none of us controls. Brilliant work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

As you get Older the days fly past, like those Calendars you see on Old Movies when the passage of time is shown as Dates falling from Calendar itself.
A fine Poem.

This poem beautifully captures the quiet, almost haunting way time slips through our fingers. It left me thinking about how often we rush toward the next moment, only to realize that the moments worth keeping were the ones quietly unfolding right in front of us.

So true it is there are endless dates in front of us and although we focus on the present there is the future behind it. Nicely written as always Thomas there is a feel of somehow being small it the scope of things and where is meaning in all this. The last line seems to give it and it is dark.

There’s something quietly powerful in this, Thomas. The contrast between once living to disappear inside the bottle and now finding meaning in stocks, golf, cats, writing and all the ridiculous details of ordinary life really works. Perhaps getting older isn\'t only about what we lose, but what we finally learn to notice. Great write, my friend.

Another fine Poem Thomas. If someone told me when younger that I\'d be writing Poetry: I\'d have laughed. We are constantly changing. And as for the Stock Exchange. The only figures I was only interested were 37 22 and 36

Once upon a time, time dragged on, and the world needed conquering.
Now you watch youtube on how easy golf is, and it is easy on youtube.
I blame my left handed clubs for being rubbish, blame Trump for my shares slumping, and god knows what happened to the cat.

What a moving piece, Thomas. The humor keeps it wonderfully grounded, but beneath it is the hard-earned wonder of being alive and caring about life again. As someone who also found sobriety, that transformation landed deeply with me. Outstanding work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There is an odyssey in this poem from down and out with one only thinking of the next drink and bit of food to the stock market, golf both a wealthy past time. Progress that has come with age and living. Well done my friend.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Thomas, this beautifully distinguishes youthful appetite from mature intimacy. The desire remains, but now it seeks recognition, trust, humor, and a shared life around it. Sensual without losing tenderness...and the final realization lands perfectly. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Hi Thomas,
I get told I\'m full of shit all the time from my wife 🤣. An enjoyable read. I particularly like the lines

Yes, a good woman is like having good health.
A good women who knows where everything is, even better.
A great woman who says, yes I\'m in the mood, but you never heard me cos you were watching the football.
Sure I would have heard her say that.

I can identify with that. For me a woman with grit smart enough to know when to hand the reigns back and step out of the way but with the fight of a wildcat that will never back down. A lovely write of what love is not just passion but passion at a friend\'s side and for life with them. A fave my friend

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.
