The poem is spot on and I’ll blessed to be considered worthy of your thoughts Dougie. May we Al “find in life eternity’s sunrise”

I sincerely hope you will publish this brilliant opus Dougie. I ve refrained from commenting on each station, holding back until this epilogue I knew would be presented. It is a fitting end to a magnificent work of meditation; theologically sound yet innovative in context and structure. BRAVO ZULU!

The UK has been a nation populated by refugees and conquerers since before the Roman invasion in 52 BC. Good point Ken. I don’t think a full blooded native Brit exists today.

Ken it’s critical that you retell this story. Your style is surgical as always. I am at a loss to understand how we as a race have not learned from history. It’s men and women such as you that hold our collective feet to the fire by reminding us of the horrors we have so casually perpetrated. I pray that one day it will sink in.

We each have a song, unique to us alone. Our life journey is the finding of it. Our prayers are the singing of it. Beautifully posited Tom.

Interesting poem. I think you’ve struck a universal chord in this piece. We all have regrets about encounters where we acted in a less than positive fashion with others. Acknowledgement of that is healing.
Well done

The dying pain of winter balanced against the birth pains of spring. Brilliant work Tom. You’ve subtly created an almost erotic pain in the birthing of spring. Bravo! I mirror Jim’s comment with your seminal line. “It is spring when the wind says it’s spring” Glorious!

I disagree. On this forum especially, all subjects and writing styles are sacrosanct. I may find one post rather facile and another overly obtuse but it is my choice to read, possibly comment and potentially learn from these. It is the writers choice to post and learn from the comments or simply from reading other posts. This is a place of growth for all who partake here.
