Won't you help support DayPoems? Kingston ChapelBy William Brendan McPhillips21st CenturyThese Kingston Rocks At Angmering Once quarried stone Now rock again And covered twice a day Lie gray and still Amid their periwinkled greenery And there, before the flood, Young Vera knelt to pray. The old chapel stands On the tip of the tongue, Like Nineveh Filling holes in the mind. Still where I sit On this dog nurtured sward Of England's sacred soil Horizons only contrast Shades of gray And feathered darts Diving through the eye's decay Ignore all we call Yesterday. Out there was where Young Vera learned to pray. Her secret lies now locked In recombining cells, Out of our reach And antiquarian treasury. And these rocks now Are what they were Before she knelt, Before first human felt The need to favor gods With such grand Fragile flatteries. DayPoems Poem No. 2286 Comment on DayPoems?
