Of Tales Woven

pork pies, obfuscation and sleight of hand?

By Brenton FPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Ancient Roman power pylon and aqueduct

i take notes on the many things that i see

and i lie about those that i don’t

these notes will then be woven into a tale

that will either be read or it won't

that reading will either

pump into it,

the life that it needs

or it will be recklessly cast away

into the shaky winds like neutered seeds

and if that life should get the legs it needs

to get up and off on its own

the veracity and detail of my notes

shall reflect lessons learnt and shown

everyday brings something new

if even just a slight subtle twist

as long as you’re living,

it keeps on giving

and will eventually present all that you missed

what we want as opposed to what we need

a question forever asked

mutually connected yes

but shadowy, of sleight and masked

we just keep on going and going

until

one day

we get it right

others are an easy victory

steel yourself

and your will to fight

the hardest battles

you will ever face

will be the ones

within

.

#350!
