"Life is a beautiful thing that not one of us has control over, it dashes past in the blink of an eye.
I want to exist
Not in shallow conversation,
But in the depths of the universe,
In irreplaceable memories and words too rich it would be sinful not to read aloud."
Amazing verse!

The entire poem in fact is so evocative! This is what art should look like.

Hey! I just finished reading all your poems (except for the Hindi ones). It's really worthwhile. Wish I could write about women like that. Or maybe I can, I'm just too afraid to post it. Anyway, nice to have you around here at Write Out Loud (WOL). Cheers

This is a great poem David and reminds me I've a tin box full of family photos to go through. I liked 'through a bramble-obscured neutrality' and their sharp suits, straight out of the movies. That generation were so influenced by Hollywood it seems.

Thankyou and I know its not a nice part of reality
But its a fact and children and vulnerable adults need saving from these cults were they use torture and sexual abuse as part of thier worshiping rituals
Like what saville was part of ...and the higher ups of the BBC
Unbelievable xx

It's almost an honour now to read poetry that is not about endless self seeking. You don't really need my affirmation David, but it might give some cause. A love piece, showing some consideration to those who lived their lives the only way they knew how.

Hope you are doing well. If this poem is about yourself, just wanted to let you know that my mum had major surgery on her nose and face a couple of years ago and her recovery was amazing to say the least. Her scars healed very well and she did not need any further treatment. I hope this brings you some comfort.

Also, thank you so much to Neressa, Emer and Jordyn for reading and the 'likes'. ?

Good poem, Greg. Malvern is where I live. I read somewhere recently that at 338 yards high the Worcestershire Beacon just about qualifies as a mountain. It seems unlikely, though.

and ten before she passed, encouraged by the fact that the number
you quoted had its origins in the bible and evolution alone has
overtaken that life-time limitation. ?
