The chapel on the hill ...

I took my prayer to the chapel on the hill - 

Soft rain fell upon the quiet land - 

Cattle grazed in watery fields - 

A leafless tree joined earth to heaven - 

Violets were a tender purple - 

Wood smoke scented the air in the village - 

The sea was veiled in mist - 

An egret flew above a swift flowing stream - 

I placed my prayer upon a shelf of gentle stone - 

I left a white shell upon the folded paper - 

Stay with me, your special boy I'd written - 

Through the ancient doorway my life waited for me -
