A Place and Time








In this place where the land escapes

The ambitions of the social masters

And the engineers with civil maps –

 

Quietness reigns over the pastor’s psalms

that warm like a velvet cape.

 

Time waits patiently for her hours

To restore the detritus to that eternal place

Alongside failed terms and dreams lost-

 

Both haunted by stillness

and in their glorious blessedness - embrace.

 

For their progeny has and will then be -

Held in vilipend view - just the same.
