'The Deserter'
Neville,
What stands out at one point in a moment can surly be forgotten with time until it's not. what can start that old song playing, a memory singing. A letter recieved, card arrived. Who knows. To me this was the replay or focus on the what was. Once real then forgotten untill it's reality once again arrives again.
Blessings,
Kathy

I really can not thank you enough my very dear Kathy, I truly thought this old scribble of mine was lost to time and collecting dust .. but you have so generously polished every word and given them a warm glow .. Indeed, that alone is heart-warming and restores my faith in the value of true friendship ..

'Like a cold sore in winter' is a cracking line. It is straight from a knocked about but undefeated soul. I wonder who's deserting from what .. guess we can desert from all sorts of circumstances, relationships, friendships, responsibilities, this n that.
it's interesting that you chose to make example of the deserter, there could be so many interpretations of that, the deserter like a traveler who can't stay in one place for too long, it's like they have gypsy blood, or someone who is prone to leaving to avoid commitment or responsibility or those who can't face what they've done, you seem to suggest a pattern of deserting behaviour and those experiences revisiting us later down the track, but they hardly make the headlines, because we don't give them due credit or do they come and go so often that we don't notice their significance? it's a very thought-provoking piece.
You are right . This poem is full of deep thoughts and it is a headline in itself.
You are writing beautifully my friend...
