A fine write Gold. Isn\'t there a film where a boy rides on a dolphin into the sunset in the final scenes?

The Boy Sat on the Burning Deck.
Michael Edwards said:
And a great bit of fun. It reminds me of Spike Milligans take on the poem:
The boy stood on the burning deck when all but he had fled.

So brave of you to post this sad write! I’m glad you did. It makes us realize what you’re dealing with! You deserve to be showered with all the positive energy we, the readers, can send your way! I always think of you and Joyce. As you know I take care of my aunt and mom. It’s not easy!
You are indeed a very special man!
My love to Joyce ❤️and to you!

We hold such faith in the \'after\' that none could do anything but be supportive of your wish for this end to earthly suffering and a new beginning.
A very testing time for you and for any among us with a conventional faith.
I can read in you that, whereas today\'s writing is cry which a part of you needs to voice, it is not the whole of your feelings.
You are so brave to give us these words which help us to begin to share some of this pain with you.

You are a strong man, stronger than most of the men I\'ve known in my short time on the earth.
I believe death is a benevolent thing, if in such a situation that it\'s so wrenching that it makes someone ask for it, so someone could be better off.
I felt this, very much. I don\'t have much of a heart to send you, but I send you my best wishes and hopes as your situation unravels. I\'ve witnessed firsthand my grandmother and grandfather go through this, and it was not a pleasant sight. I can only imagine.
Best regards, Finch - and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

A sensitive write Gold. Pulled both ways, it seems. To stay or to go? There\'s a sort of \'pat\' answer that death (to name it, so to be clear) is a \'final healing\'. Yet it is a healing somehow, I feel. Every situation has different angles though.
I would probably see it as punishment if in your situation. But truly, I don\'t think it is. The Psalmist says similar in places - Why, etc,...?\'

Intimidating Senryu.
Neville said:
interesting isn\'t it.. I have often thought that many of the Japanese poetry forms but including the more common senryu and haiku in their purest form are deliberately meant to confound and confuse the western eye.. however, having made something of a study of them for a good many years, there is almost always an intrinsic beauty if one cares to look for it... I enjoyed yours today.... N

I\'m not much into Orchestra music, haven\'t really had the time to get into it.
What I am into is poetry, and the feeling of respect you show for Bach is clear to see.
A lovely piece.

A lovely write and clip Gold.
A church has a \'highlight\' of remembering Archbishop Thomas Cranmer\'s martyrdom today. Not exactly \'the joys of Spring\' but neither was it for him in 1556. Were we there in person in Oxford?

What have you done Finch?!
Seriously though, it was a very good read.

A lovely write Gold. Yes, we have some Rivers near-ish to us. I see them more maybe in Spring.
Meanwhile ( a \'said\' verse):
\'O land of endless peace
Where noise and turmoils cease
How did this tranquil peace bring?(i.e. come about)
\'Tis easy - Orchi did not sing!\' heehee.

\"Senryu\" poetic expression
Mind baring its innermost emotions, unfiltered, in judgement by all - yes quite intimidating
A few words, but very engaging
