A collaboration with Jonathan Swift Pines
There are things she sees are pretty
They go beyond her basic needs
The sun is warm and cheery
Too much of it
freckles gather on her cheeks
Charming freckles, like those on a child
whose innocent heart would burst with a smile
The rain is soothing and musical
Too much of it
sadness floods on her soul
Raindrops can harmonize with memories
Too many and the mind is adrift
The world of art is beautiful and enchanting
Too much of it
inadequacy breaks down her creativity
Happiness makes her vulnerable
The more she has, the more she has to lose
There are so many lows after the highs
When all that is stripped away
She realises how much satisfaction
she has in a mundane life
