Poem -
Somewhere On the Far Side of Insight
if I get the thumbs up tomorrow I should be in Miami by Friday for 3 days before hoping on board & 3 weeks sailing around...
Somewhere On the Far Side of Insight
I don’t just look and see,
but I watch
and I savour and I learn
and then I try
to hoard what I find like
you would
small golden treasures ..
Each strung out
like pretty bunting across
the skyline of
an unfamiliar and all too
brief lifetime ..
As tiny and crisscrossed
as the faintest
of cracks in small glazed
earthenware pots ..
Still here, in my very own
shell I pretend
to bathe in old sunlight ..
While casually
wondering just how many
more wasted
horizons, sunsets, faces
and views,
shall eventually become
little more than
vague opaque scenes each
etched upon
the tired old retinas of this
nameless and near
forgotten mans fading dreams ..

I particularly like the first 7 lines here Neville which would seem to sum up the particular talents of your profession but then I also like how the poem progresses almost to null and void any experience... which of course must be extinguished with us.  Or maybe not.  Who knows?Â
Have a great holiday x
Bless you our M .. gottta dash chuck tarah for now x
Looking back over my shoulder springs to mind.
A reflective write with weariness thrown in the poetry pot.Â
For inevitably and acceptance dawns,
As the fickle finger of fate guides those who accept it,
whilst the hands of time drags those who reject it.
 A quick heads up for you also, Amazon review going up later.
You and your loved ones enjoy Miami Nev đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

This is very sad, Neville!Â
And a superb write.Â
