Enclosing
The silence
.
And the space
Where once stood
.
The wooden
Saxon church
.
Now stone
Glass
.
And arches
That span
.
Mortality
To eternity.

Icons to Eternity
Can we build
Icons to eternity?
.
Or are they created
Through our artists’ hands?
.
How did God
Put heaven in our hearts
.
By these stones
This empty space
.
This wondrous
Light?
A Place To Meet – A Time In Eternity
Here
Is a place
.
To meet
With one
.
Who rises
Daily
.
You come
To a time
.
In eternity
And your soul
.
Confronts
Mortality
.
And one waits
Beckoning
.
Always having
Journeyed before.
.
A Place of Significance…
A place
Of significance
.
Where kings
Have knelt
.
Paupers
Have prayed
.
Where life and death
Have been debated
.
And a poet
Still pleads from the grave
.
Where floods have arisen
And abated
.
And new creations
Continually rise up to heaven
.
A place
Passed over
.
By a million travellers
Intent on other things
.
While the pilgrim
Pauses
.
Stays
And prays.
