South Chingford Poetry

Another great poem from my former neighbour Beverley Rock of the Ages Each stone, a living memory As I walk and wonder -  Time and its space creates a story - Gazing openly asunder   Every stone a piece of history Embedded and in its place I read, feeling, each ones glory Its strength, its grace What does it tell me? How can it tell you? That once it walked free, And once it flew. Wind and sea waves buffet Into skipping, dancing Alongside smaller pebble set With tumbling and prancing The core element sublime Waiting for its merger In a futuristic time Altering form to purpose Rock into grains of sand It surpasses all Attempting to understand  Rock of the Ages Trodden ground Sung by the Sages Whose feet have touched It never gives up!  Beverley Gill  March 2022 RETURN TO LIST OF POEMS

This is another poem by my former neighbour Beverley, now returned to her native South Wales.   Togetherness  Love shared, a wave ridden high Intertwined in the Sea of Life. Why? Beckoning the edge of the morrow Of what that brings. Ending with one's eventual sorrow - A death of things. Survival powers to the tides, Life abounds gaily swift. There's nothing we can hide To the sounds of this drift. Love comforts the soul, Turning to light We shine, reaching our goal, The tides move on with us.  Beverley Gill 2020 RETURN TO LIST OF POEMS
