Poem: The Watch by John Predmore, S.J.
I sit,
in stillness,
with the tall mountain
peering over my shoulders,
brooding,
waiting,
clamoring,
as the days pass,
watching the strangers scurry by,
who have no grounds to look back.
John, I love this poem. I have been sitting in stillness for several mornings. Happy Easter! Bev
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bev. I wrote it while in New Zealand with Mt. Taranaki behind me and the ocean in the foreground. I remember that day vividly.
