time has
fashioned an age
and there have been
an abundance of different days

i see her
chasing happiness
as she tries
to work out
what happiness
actually means

carry them up the hill
on the back –
of the donkey that you saved

i have always lived to the idea
of being slightly separate
i have always felt
that getting caught up
with everyone questioning

just step in –
to this inviting place
sit down in the wingback chair
and the warmth of the fireplace fire
is something to reassure and something to share

people manipulate
despite,
drawing out lines
and presenting cartoon like
characters of good and evil

my dad was transparent
but many parts were cordoned off
my dad was complicated

but!
hold on!
it fits quite nicely with what you believe
the truth of course
is actually a much harder weave
