Popular Nonfiction Poems

Mist rolls over to cover stone, blankets the tale
footmen storm the holy island
castle keeps the history, unfolding through pages of time
in quiet prayer the clash of cross and savage
each grain of sand underfoot, a life from then to now
the hearts of men, beat and bled upon this land
rectories for plunder, God's silence to the backdrop of screams
prayer falls on deaf Word
brume swept inland in flaxen locks
twisting mystery into tapestry
dense fog fades memory
fables fold over tides of ancient story
truth hazed and secrets bound ...
