when your words come back to haunt you...

Zach: Mum you seem really stressed these days
J: I know - I'm just worrying about Leo
Zach: But you always tell me it's pointless to worry as it doesn't help...
J: Yeah I do say that don't I...

Harder to do...

It really is futile for us to keep trying
you think it's a game but it's not
I love you too much to let you keep lying
I know you too well in case you forgot

You say she's a figment of my imagination
you say that I'm crazy and losing my mind
but I've played this out in another location
and no-one's a winner you'll find

I've shed tears for me
but cried more for you
you were my baby
you'd always be true
but life has a way
of curing the innocent
truth's easy to say
but harder to do...

Can't spend every day checking the veracity
of words that you speak in the dead of the night
if you want trust you should show some fidelity
I know in my heart when something's not right

When did I stop being someone you looked to
to tell you the truth of who you'd become?
when did I start being someone you'd lie to?
the web that you weaved has all come unspun

I've shed tears for me
but cried more for you
you were my baby
you'd always be true
but life has a way
of curing the innocent
truth's easy to say
but harder to do...

Nirvana - a poem by Zach

Your eyelids expand, today is young
You walk in the forest
Intoxicating gusts of wind constricting you

Silence; music to my mind
Tranquil rage, I don't conform.
Elegant gusts of wind tell you of days before.

Ecstatic bursts of winter
So pleasing; confusing.
Winter projects upon you

Constant shivering; confusion.
You are blind to external,
Now you can see.

The cold grasps your soul.
Embrace it and you live the external.
Forever in debt to your pain...

You are still confused, the cold is rewarding.
You feel the warmth embrace you.
You accept the frost as you live in sun.

You have reached Nirvana, You see with both eyes

Instadventure

Zach: Mum your instagram account makes it look like your whole life is one big adventure!
J: I know!
Zach (giggling uncontrollably): but in reality all you're doing is walking Leo to the same field every day and taking pictures in different kinds of weather!
J (also giggling uncontrollably): I know - it's hilarious. I reckon that's what everyone does!
