I’m on your side
Your other side
Not where you lied
but where you tried
to do what’s right
in a hard fight
It’s where you cared

Epiphany
On the twelfth day
there were three kings
which in some way
led to five rings
(or for the kooks
led to five toques
Bob and Doug’s brand)

Epiphany is the day the three wise men or kings arrived at the stable where the baby had been born. It is said to have occurred twelve days after the birth, thus giving us the Twelve Days of Christmas, and is traditionally celebrated on 6 January. When my mother was a child where she grew up it was also the day Christmas gifts were exchanged.

An Abrupt End
Suddenly gone
with no good-bye
Darker the dawn
in which we cry
Choices not made
Futures betrayed
Life’s care unfair
