Saint Cuthbert's Chapel ...




Inside the chapel, I was unable to hear the sea - 

No birds entered here - 

Thick walls enclosed long years of memory - 

Angels were carved out of dark wood -  

Prayers from austere mouths had touched the edge of heaven - 

Bright ships had carried kings - 

Centuries had passed by in a single breath - 

Silence fell upon me like a cloak of feathers -
