Peter Hall Poems

Emotions must fall into line
With all the straight heart will believe,
Patience works it's way in time
Feeling what has been received.
...

As I walk along the footpath
The ice cracks under my sole
The windchill cools the ears
And reddens up my nose.
...

Deep down in the middle of my mind
There's a part I just can't satisfy
It's a corner of my mind I can never seem to fill
It's still there after all that I try
...

I'm still here.
Don't let my age fool you,
The troopers said I caused the nation trouble...
Which nation?
...

Being at the peak
Of the top of Ben Nevis,
See the Great Glen
And each snow bleached crevis.
...

Brodick Bay, Isle of Arran
September afternoon,
Don't care what time it is
And I haven't got a clue.
...

Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. (‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬: ‭7-8‬) .


Scottish whisky on her breath
...

The offensive domain where the Christian stands
The offended emotions it seeks to fan,
At every turn makes believers cringe
With the aggressive pride of their boastful sin.
...

The ship of Western culture
Drifts away slowly yet surely
In the ocean of rights
In a sea of wrongs.
...

The Life that God is
Is the Life that God Gives.

The Life that you see
...
