Relief

While one can’t take it for granted there’s that 

wee glimmer of hope set as a wry chance we 

see things the same way - at least its the fruit 

of a common belief spared those ‘hard times’ 

agendas of glory boys and thieves; the wimp- 

set sees us stranded in this faith with nature - 

we’re consequential victims they say, natural 

retrogression, degeneration on the hoof

But I know we’re fireproofed to such claims - 

their vision is Eden retrofitted with their view 

screwed into rafters as true regardless of its 

real cost; our’s allows nature the final words 

whether we fit into schemes larger than our 

imagination but sanctioned by its dreams 

So yes - there’s possibility he’s found what 

he seeks, an avocado orchard with enough 

healthy trees to make a difference, with an 

opportunity to keep his faith intact similarly 

to the way he has always; and for me, it is 

the reward of seeing my ‘baby’ kept safe
