In a country church

In this church all is still,
but for the clock’s tick;
the bell ropes hang
waiting for the ringers’ tug.
The pews wait for restless worshippers
or tired travellers;
the windows send threads of sun
along the pews’ edges
and silence waits to be filled.

Something coalesces –
is it the presence of God?
or is it my racing pulse
slowing to the pace of reflected memories?
In the space,
in the silence,
in the need,
in the waiting,
there is room for God.

  1. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. However think of if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Wonderful blog!
