Haunting Richness of Worship
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
I have been in cloistered places
Where the atmosphere is grave
Once a murder in Cathedral
That the King could not stop, save.
But acoustics, Man they’re special
And the loneliness not bad.
Bringing worship from one’s deepest heart.
Timidity turned brave.
About this poem
Wrote this piece after listening to Brandon Lake sing the song Gratitude. Spooky but also life-giving
