INTO GREAT SILENCE

Stillness slips
Into peace
Into love
Luscious green nature
Always present
Just is
Soft steps tread
Heavy stone
As rain falls
Rhythmically
Into deep pools
Bell tolls
And voice
Finds faith through
Candle lit vespers
Lightly clad in
Cream folds
God is here

Upon The Sand
All love that has not friendship for its base,
Is like a mansion built upon the sand.
Though brave its walls as any in the land,
And its tall turrets lift their heads in grace;
Though skilful and accomplished artists trace
Most beautiful designs on every hand,
And gleaming statues in dim niches stand,
And fountains play in some flow'r-hidden place;
Yet, when from the frowning east a sudden gust
Of adverse fate is blown, or sad rains fall
Day in, day out, against is yielding wall,
Lo! the fair structure crumbles to the dust.
Love, to endure life's sorrow and earth's woe,
Needs friendship's solid masonwork below.
