Heritage

opening doorways to Pandora's box
unanswered questions to unbroken locks
butterfly nets catching air
and 'dog' who barks loud for his share
life on a merry-go-round
hand-in-hand, together they were bound....for life

building castles, the villages grew
giving employment and apartments to view
they wed on a bridge in the rain
and toasted suburban fame
life had it's ups and it's downs
now they're gone and nowhere to be found....down here

you couldn't see the wood for the trees
down on your bended knees it's cold
as the trail runs dry, now you know
we are all the blood-line
you couldn't feel the wind for the breeze
you didn't expect to believe, now you understand
what you see, is your heritage

unveiling secrets in a tatty old shed
a book full of stories, the legacy read
she died on the night she gave birth
he followed her shortly to earth
left is the book that is bound
from their child, nowhere to be found....around here
