Thew (a poem inspired by another poet here)

hmmm,

'makes a dune of sandy wasted time'...

feeling that line settle in.

Eliciting a tingle,
up my spine,
through my circuits,
in my organism.

Words well worth pondering.

But wait
there is more...

thanks for the new word
fellow poet here,

'thew',

who knew?

that one so good,
existed,
out there,
for me,
and
for you?

*thanks Richard Barnes!

Thank you Richard Barnes 16h. for the inspiration your poem gave this morning.

...a dune of sandy wasted time.
Old age,
feel the strength
not from height or thew, but
By a heart profoundly stirred
by prophetic eyes through and through,
the fullness of the past,
But were we ever young?
Now a prison of weary pain
Dull remembrance of what has changed.
Thrown off the cliff of time with
mists that clogs a future pantomime
when it all ends as the hour glass sands
makes a dune of sandy wasted time.

Train station

So many faces in the wind

At the train station

The Glasgow train at 1705 seems late

So many minutes wasted

Should i smoke a cigarette or will the nicotine be wasted

Spending too much time on contemplation

I hope I don't have to purchase a ticket so I can keep the little I have

The train is expensive but I missed the bus

Wouldn't mind a new car but that's too much fuss
