Do not read this if an authors' note will spoil the read for you.
I 've decided to write a few lines of explanation as I seam to be getting readers but no feed back here and following a comment on a different thread to the effect that this is a difficult poem to critique. Perhaps a view into the back story might help.
This is a deeply personal and emotional poem written at a time of great financial stress. (James is hubby) and we went from muti-millionaires / owners of a cider factory... to needing food boxes. We lost ten years of investment because the government made a mistake which allowed the banks to have the company from under our feet. 6 lost high courtcases later and the death of my mother-in-law, we were both pretty broken. At time of writing I was angst filled and angry....but my inner voice of faith had something else to say and this poem is the result.
If this helps perhaps now try a re-read.
