In A Country Churchyard

from the ABC set Window Box

I sit in a green shade,
By pink blossom.
John Shipley and Anne Rose,
At peace on this warm day;
my soul in harmony with theirs.

Then, like a bolt from the blue,
The two-fifteen to Edinburgh
Comes rushing through like thunder.
High above the trees, high above the houses,
This business called life.

A daisy shudders on the grass,
Time catching up with them,
In a green shade,
By pink blossom,
Broken sunlight on the stones.

There is a churchyard in England where the past and present come together. Despite what you might think the churchyard is incredibly peaceful even when the train intrudes, as calm is quickly restored!

I like it too, very much;-) Especially these lines:-

"A daisy shudders on the grass,
Time catching up with them..."

Thanks for your comments. It was a lovely warm day, even in April. I was like one 'transported'.
