She Sat At My Computer

She sat at my computer
And exclaimed ‘well done’
Then she looked at me intently
‘What is the most important one?’

…The most important ditty?
I looked surprised
And then through her eyes
I could see what had been disguised

She spoke very plainly
What is so important to me
Is that these writings are true
Not imaginary.

What are you meaning?
I ventured to speak
‘Masons Oasis’ was born
As His Maker, he did seek’

Then I was silent
This was altogether too much
And she continued
As she gave me her gentle touch

…’Your walk may be ethereal
And you touch another dimension
But all must know
The truth behind these expressions.

You have lived at Place of Springs
For 17 years
Bred goats, raised calves
Comforted many who shed tears

The donkey next door
Is here for all to see
All these stories are real
She reiterated gently…

Because I know you
I know their reality
These are based on facts
Gleaned with sensitivity
So I am writing ‘TRUE’
Right across this page
As I know with surety
These are for this time and this age.

‘Manu Morpork, the Kiwis
New Zealand Native Bush
The truth within these allegories
Upon another you wouldn’t push
So their very essence
Is also real
Truth’s wrapped in a sugar coating
Sealed with His seal.’

‘True?’ I answered!
Yes she replied
The Place of Springs is your home
Where your family abide.
