    • I’ve known people like this. It’s like a hunger they can’t sate, always be moving & seeing & going new places. Almost like it’s spiritual for them. I know a guy who literally hops & trains & goes where it takes him. This one made me smile 😊

    • Write on brother .. & always .. Neville 😎👍

    • Thank you, my friend.

    • Thank you, my friend. I appreciate it.

    • Beautifully penned, Thomas. Excellent write, the story of the traveler. Appreciate you.

    • I admit to having a bit of that hobo spirit in me. If not for the dedication I feel toward loved ones, I might have been a wanderer. You capture the phenomenon well.

    • I was once this boy. Always on the move. Never settling down. You have the quintessential poet’s gift of telling the story of your characters with deep understanding and empathy. This spoke to me deep down about years gone by.

    • It’s the same for most mental illnesses.
      Those that have never suffered from them cannot entirely understand what’s happening in the mind of the afflicted.
      My mental health illness of choice (as if I had any) was depression.Everyone looked for a reason as to why it happened and yes there may have been some reasons but essentially I am predisposed to it.
      They also presume medication will fix it when in fact it can’t.It can lessen the impact but the brain and the mind of a ‘ looney’ neuroplaticly savant ( I just made that up so no point googling it) in that it’s like trying to catch the wind and tame it.
      I’m rambling a bit but today is a suffering day and writing ,as you well know,calms the mind.Doesnt have to be good writing,just has to be good enough to quiet the mind.
      You’re husband is destined for heaven,if there is one,just tell him to keep away from my wife.They are saints in the making.It cannot be easy for either to understand our suffering but without them we probably wouldn’t be here?
      One final thing.For all the shit that depression brought it also helped kick open a door that let kindness and compassion flood into me.
      I often encounter people in social settings that trivialise or worse vilify those with mental health issues.What they don’t understand is they are only a bees dick away from themselves.
      You take care sweetie and I mean that from the heart of my bottom…lol.
      🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

      • hello dearest Benny I want to give you a proper response and I will but for now I just wanted to say thank you and hugs on a suffering day…depression is very difficult as I know 💕rest easy tonight…

          • good morning dearest Benny I often tell my husband he is due a reward for looking out for me there are so many areas I would be in danger on my own… a lot of people leave their spouces on a whim I don’t take mine for granted I know good and bad times come…I focus on what is worth my time and try to let the petty things go…he is my husband and caretaker I would be lost without him… you would think people would be understanding but sadly the ones that come near us are usually looking to take advantage of our diminished state…having a wife who understands you is beautiful…I know depression and know it often comes out of the blue and even when nothing is wrong it is unexplainable and it hurts when others say what’s wrong or just snap out of it I know it’s painful…I really appreciated your understanding but I didn’t mean to ramble so much your comment brough a lot of things to light like how grateful I am for my husband though imperfect has stood by me through the storms have a beautiful day today 💕

    • thank you beautiful Mary it’s just what I’ve been through go through I deeply appreciate the lovely comment and understanding 💕

    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. The human mind is powerful, but it can be like putting together a puzzle, with very vague directions. Amazing write my friend, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • thank you dearest Damian it can be I do my best with what I have I get frustrated though when society still wants me to jump social hoops… especially when they know of my difficulties I deeply appreciate you 💕

    • hello dearest Joe this is so beautiful how you envision this lady my face is open and my laughter sweet…I can’t lie it shows on my face so I try to be honest as I can but that can unsettle too…you’re very romantic to be seen as such is so passionate 💕

    • You took us there, I swear. It was like watching a scene breathe before you. Emotion-filled atmosphere & the sound of the surf. Incredibly beautiful

      • Thank you for taking a quiet walk along the strand and sharing your thoughts with me 🌼

    • What a great read for me this evening. Very beautifully done, lulling in a good way. Like a sailboat easing along the waves.
      So well done. I love it!

      • Ramble without rhyme as the consciousness flows. Glad that you enjoyed the flow of the stream.

    • This is quite breathtaking and intriguing.

      I admire the delicate flow of this poem, it really does take me on a journey.

      A much needed break from reality.

      A vibrant and comforting read. x

    A Question of Words
