~ Window of Life ~


Stop a moment
Please do
Look closely
Not of knights
In armour
Nor of saints
Looking down.

Instead we see
Ordinary folk
The salt of the earth
Whose daily life
Harsh it could be
End yet another day.

As they leave
The shipyard
Another day
To come.

Thoughts had they
And ambitions too
Families to feed
Pennies were few.

A night by the fire
A bedtime story
For some youngster
As the bedroom
window view
Shows dad's
Place of work
And Uncles
And brothers
All there too.

Life is depicted
In many a scene
And yet captured here
In coloured glass
Within a cathedral
What of life?
Here is you.

How the Autumn
Has colours to please
Where ever one
Had a wish to walk.

A kirkyard once
Visited by many
Quiet was the scene
Of past memories
Of loved ones
Now here
They rest
In peace.




Flowers
Are few
For some
What seem
Abandoned
and uncared.

Such is the state
Of ancient past
The gravestones
Reveal much
To we - the unknown.

Nature takes care
When none
Who visit
For it allows
Colour to enter
With its
Carpet of leaves.
