  • Steeples - C.Lynn

    Gracing horizons over all the world
    the markers
    places of worship

    Steeples

    places meant to honor the One who gave us all
    Creator of all
    yet do people heed the call

    Do they offer their thanks
    do they take Him to mind
    or give thoughts only of the briefest kind

    Do the steeples any longer draw the people in
    or merely blend with the horizon
    disappear in the haze
    as people are more concerned
    with other things to fill their days

  • Beautifully written and thought out, Lynn.

  • this is right for Easter,too

  • Your poem is very beautiful! :-)
    I wonder those things, too...especially your last verse. I imagine most people fill their days with other things and don't even see the steeples and think about what they mean. :-(
    HUGS!!!
    :-)

  • I like steeples. I was sad when during hurricane Ivan years ago the Baptist steeple blew down. They made a decision to not re-erect it. I am not sure why, probably expense.
