Brilliant as usual and for me timely. Yesterday I had to withdraw from a friendship of 40 years because we are now on drastically divergent voyages. She is a council leader these days and is proving to be a fine foot soldier for everything that is working towards destroying our national identity. I have tried to tolerate her views but this week she breached my tolerance for the final time. Whether it’s Party loyalty, cognitive dissonance or self preservation I can’t fathom but in order for my ship to sail more smoothly I can’t have her on my crew.
These poems reminded me of a piece I read years back about life being like a train journey, we seat in our seat on the journey and others sit with us/near us, some for a long time, some short, some leave us sad when they alight while others go with us barely noticing them going… all of us on our journeys :)
So many of your poems strike a note for me, these are no exception. I have felt the rejection and loss and no doubt have unknowingly given cause for the same to others :) xx
Wow needed to hear this .. timing ... I was just thinking about my sister who no longer speaks to me ..since the Covid shenanigans... so many lost relationships ...we have all had to get tougher .. but at what cost ... keep shining 🥰

That’s the way I try and see these things- a filtering process.
Perfect timing as always 💚
Kaleidoscope of symmetry
Awesome line! Ppl come, go, return: ppl are an endless mystery
Indeed
Beautifully put across.
Cheers :)
