Tonight I'm thankful for my local library.

And tomorrow I can begin again, again.

Begin again,   again..    Like that very much.    @Dimity   Its a keeper.                                                           tns

[Dimity]

Tonight I'm thankful to have found something I'd mislaid, and I'm thankful for connecting with friends, for walking, for a healthy meal, all hard won habits.

I'm very grateful for the Salvo's   and  AA..

                 Knocked this up 40 years ago when Mum just . . vanished..

                 having a big clean up.    Hope its  ok  I park this one here..

                                      Grateful

                 Got this rusty ol pot

                      n beat up ol pan

                 Unloved guitar

                       Unloving ol man.

                   Forgotten faces

                       forgotten   son

                   A street education

                       on best how to run.

                  Just leave the bottle 

                        Oh that scar  so you ask

                   Yes once did I love 

                         and not fit for the task.

                   Last drinks n lies 

                       to an empty bar phone.

                   So far am I lost

                        will I find my way home.

                    One for the road

                        then into the blind.

                    Wet bed of ash

                          Let me just loose my mind.

                     Old friends abandoned 

                          Delusional glories.

                      Tired of telling 

                           those blond bourbon stories.

                       Tracks of pain

                           down memory face.

                       Lock that cell door 

                             I belong in this place.                                    tonys  Mb 1

Thanks for enduring.

Hello @Jynx 

[Glisten]

@tonys  you have written pictures with a palette of words and unencumbered brush strokes.

You took me to the time and place, like I was standing there witnessing the event.

Have you read Philip Larkin?
