IS IT REALLY YOU WHO WALKS HERE?
posted by John Davies at 4:52 PM
Returned from Bury to a mountain of welcome Christmas cards and curates' 2002 circulars. Stuart Penny writes, have you put your poetry online? Well, hell, no, there's a thought. A job for the new year perhaps. But here's a seasonal one to be going on with:O Sonic Word
Atom-deep and universe-wide
Spinner of planets
Wise wizard of the spectral sky
Is it really you who walks here?
Life's sculptor
Artist of the powerful hand
Painter of rainbows
True author of fantastic dawn
Is it really you who walks here?
Is it really you who walks here -
Fond brother of the broken-down
Champion of children
Tenacious teller of tumultuous
Tales
Is it really you who walks here -
Orchestrator of history
Our bloody hero
O grasper of the nettle of death
Our One God
Is it really you who walks here?
(November 1992)
