Incense & Flowers... Poem by DM W
Incense & Flowers...
Incense & flowers;
Candles & light: these things
Claimed our consciousness;
Vibrant childhood memories
Of the small altar
At St Cuthbert's RC church;
Masses in Latin
And rich, priestly baritones;
All those sweet feast days;
A time when Light always seemed
To prevail over
Darkness; Benedictions and
First Communions.
We would decipher bright truths
Behind a haze
Of tainted symbolism.
