Mells Churchyard (For Siegfried Sassoon) Copyright © Richard Whiting 2010

The conspicuous gallantry which was your life
Knew little peace, such as this peace of Mells
Between the avenue of yews

Entering the Abbey Church in the early morning
assemble the villagers for worship
joining with the silent praying cowled monks

Your ash fills one of the hundred and forty
seven drawers you made and left for Annie
to count in the sheds.

Certainty by Thraves Thraveson

Certainty Copyright © Thraves Thraveson 2010

You fill the void I thought unoccupied
after your death had taken you from me
but slowly I have come to recognise
that you are there, and there you'll always be.
