a choir on wings are you the church
at dawn and dusk the invocation
you are unmoved ever at rest
as if in deep meditation
a log to cross the river of sorrow
in the door and window of every life
from cradle to coffin are you not there
we peck your wood oh tree of hope
a penumbra of pain the eclipsed sun
a blood diamond of sierra leone
through the unrest was standing still
a dragon's blood tree unshaken../original/z.g.

Strong, powerful and emotional words here! Very thought-provoking.
That is powerful. I find the church to be "unmoved" often. The effect is devastating. Thanks for this.
Excellent, zg! :)
Powerful, passionate and pain-filled writing, dripping also with love and compassion.
I'm deeply moved by this, both emotionally and as a poet who admires such "spot on" and original imagery.
I echo the same sentiments. This is powerful poetry! Well done!!
Thank you.
