Also your lovely lines gave my muse the opportunity to create something on the spur of the moment. She hasn't done that for a long time. She's had far too much sleep :)
Neville,
Enjoyed your poem, but I must confess my eye went dry with all that blinking!! Yes . . . in this fast paced world things happen so quickly that it's hard to keep up! Especially liked the 4th stanza.

In the blink of an eye, say goodbye..goodbye. Oh, my oh my! What have befallen us when we pry. If we do never try, time will do his black magic, this I cry. It will swallow our shadow and be in the dust a must. Marvelous as usual great Neville Pettitt.

A few years ago I was very ill for several months and sleep was something that just wouldn’t come. There were nights where I didn’t sleep at all, and then I’d spend all my daylight hours dreading the sundown, and doing the lone night watch again.
I felt this. Your poem reminded me very much of the loneliness and desire to just be able to share that burden with someone. And how at times the sleeplessness made me feel so worn out I thought I might not make it through another night. I don’t say all this for myself, just to express how vivid and real your poem felt. The sense of things here among these halls of words reached beyond the page and tapped me on the shoulder. I hope you are having a better night tonight, sleeping soundly.
I thought this was excellent. The reaching, and the undefined desperation were poignant.

I trust you are now fully recovered from those ordeals... and thank you so very much for the amazing message and sentiments you have left here, once again, you have been very kind and I want you to know, very much appreciated too.... Last night was much better... All Good Things, Neville

This is a great analogy for brexit.
Blink and you are British.
Blink again, and you're still European.
No wonder that Junger guy gets pissed every night.
Blink and some bugger have built a wall.

the doctors tried to explain to my mother that she was too old for surgery: our lives are too complicated for even the experienced to explain for a minute. We can blink and the white house can be taken over by the communist. Blink and the water supply in Flint can be poisoned. Blink and the theatre of self indulgence and egoism wont leave. Blink and the unavoidability of getting old will fade from our understanding. Yet you turn the ending into a love poem that says: all we know is heat and bright and it becomes more and more difficult to see the worlds gradations. great poem/ dana

OH goodness, I feel this one good friend as of late slumber has been quite the commodity, giving to sway a great deal of emotional oddity!! But in this case i'm glad you had such a hard night cause this was very much a nice write! now for goodness sake get some rest Nev, you earned it!

Maybe if we didn't blink. Time would stop my friend. I do agree with your logic. Time goes by and we need to make every second count. Thank you Neville for sharing your amazing poetry and your thoughts.
