That last verse grabbed me and wouldn't let me go!
YOur words amaze me and sometimes John, you say so little, like you leave certain words OUT and still you come to a completion! If I sound amazed, I am - YOu enthrall my little mind -
I need to read you more, maybe something will spur me on...
a shorter "style" of writing and saying what you want to get across!
You have that knack!
Follow that quill as inspires! Past, Present and Future! You have much to teach, as you reach!
Write On!

The sunset of one's life [at least mine] has, indeed, come to fast.

Beautiful poem, John.

A trunk of stolen hearts
on wheels without a cart (I love these lines!)

...and where this line brought me..."Of Rust" takes the reader into another dimension...One usually can't find the beauty in "Rust", BUT SOMEHOW...YOU DID!
excellent pen, John!
Love and Peace~

What is that glowing light? It is the shine under all that rust. Poetic forms of melancholy run throughout this pen John. Have a fantastic time on your vacation and I'll be here when you return.
God Speed,

Others had a suitcase full of dreams, illusions, promises which were lost along the way because, by envy, a hole was made in its bottom.
