Durham Cathedral - Poem

Contemporary Review,  Jan, 2002  by A.K. Whitehead

DURHAM CATHEDRAL

I

Tall walls rising before the evenfall
of the first millennium, cursed by time,
losing substance in the ooze of crumble,
converting to an earlier state,
renewed, restored at ground and altitude.

II

The peace of centuries of prayers released,
dusting from the walls in the gust of time
and losing in the hard abuse of years
nothing of its nature, but enduring
and gathering the strength of recipients.
