Withdraw into Fantasy
Tonight I shall put my life on hold
and dive into Gaston Leroux, into
his book 'Phantom of the Opera'
Saw the DVD by Schumacher
based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's
opera - Gaston Leroux did not
Have as much sympathy with his
ghost; where Lloyd Webber made
the ghost a charitable character
Gaston was more impressed with
his criminally insane mind; since
we are mostly abonormal,
As 'normal'has never been defined;
in a life marked by total judgment,
received in the House of the Lord;
It is better to withdraw into a fantasy
that will take me on a trip into another
kind of consiousness...
Favourite Things
Both Tiaan and I suffering headache
I know which books to read to help
me through it – I wonder when he
will have such a magical cure all
lined up – he’s reading ferociously
Maybe he already knows which books
will help him through reality – at his
age my help was Dr Serfontein, he
claims he relies on R.L. Stine – but
sadly the library is closed today
We need a shot of ‘My Favourite
Things’ to help us cope with the pain
Tiaan claims he’s learnt an advantage
to appreciate in the situation; when he
feels good he’s on top of the world
Whereas those who feel good all
the time never know the elation
he enjoys when he’s feeling fine,
I wish I could send him off into the
world knowing for sure that he
won’t suffer so much; such is the
price of life, and it really seems
so unfair, at least he’s positive and
that means a lot – maybe one day
he’ll be victorious over the allergy!
