It spoke to me Copyright ©Rod O’Donoghue 2011

Silent
in this
noisy world
and yet
it spoke to me

Battered
by the
cold sea wind
yet warm
it seemed to me

Rainbows
in this
mystic world
bright colours
spoke to me

Beauty
in
simplicity
that’s how
it seemed to me

Standing
in this
lonely place
a Friend
He spoke to me

Five flowers
on
His altar stone
His wounds
it seemed to me

The Cross
of Hope
and Sorrow
it watches
over me

Built against
Othona’s Walls
St Peter’s
spoke to me
