It was a cool, wet September day, I could hear the river's gentle sound smell the freshness of rain on the grass see the willows swish against the ground Evening crowded the late summer sky as I entered the church that day and though this was a sacred place I hadn’t come here to pray. I walked up the aisle reverently no hymnal music guided my way silently I stood at the alter and found I had no words to say. To the left was the granite tomb and within lay the famous Bard His words had always inspired me and standing here hit me hard Tears ran slowly down my cheeks I was surprised to find them there His presence in this room was great magical verses resounded in the air I’ve met a few celebrities but they cannot hold a light to the man, long dead, I encountered in church, that September night. |

Lady deVine the well of wisdom you draw from is deep indeed. This is a truly profound experience and your words more than do it justice. I could feel your awe of the man and the moment. ------------------ Pain is life, life is short, I will endure. DreamEvil© |

It's beautiful, Ms. deVine. I loved the first verse especially-great imagery there. Of course, I enjoyed the rest of the poem too. ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." |
