Powerfully penned, Peter. Excellent write my friend. Life often feels like a constant circle to me, everything eventually comes back around. This write made me think of that again, so thank you. Amazing work. Appreciate you.

Thanks Damian for your considered comment.
I try not to over complicate or force my writing.A thought just arrives ( at strange moments) that needs to be explored.
For example, while waking this morning I had a simple thought which I haven’t quite been able to expand on…’what is actually real’…might have to work on this one.

Tim, this really took me into Elsie’s heart and what she meant to our wounded men. I could feel the emotions here and the depth of your remembrance for her and the men she gave solace in their darkest hours. Truly a great poem.
