Versailles 15.10.22

 


Versailles


On the metro to leave Paris

for the Palace of Versailles 

in the footsteps of Kings and Queens

once with absolute power.


They built grandly inducing awe

in all who paid court.

Each gallery room dwarfed us

taking us up and out of ourselves.


Beautiful rooms and paintings,

gardens and fountains 

lifted our spirits and 

blessed us on our way.

Brompton Oratory 23.7.23

Image
  Brompton Oratory On Sunday afternoon I stroll Across the field of Hyde Park  And past the Museum queues To be put in my place. Climbing from Brompton Road I enter the Temple of God And kneel in the crowd To be put in my place. The organ bursts out And the Oratory Brothers enter To lead Solemn Vespers And put me in my place Timeless plainchant flows Carrying me along with Prayer seasoned by the ages  Putting me in my place. After Vespers the altar lights As Christ in form of Bread Is lifted to his grand throne And all kneel in their place. With family and friends and The world’s anguish on my heart I welcome Love’s Benediction  putting all in the best place. John Twisleton   23 July 2023

Speakers’ Corner 23.7.23

Image
Speakers’ Corner I had an argument on Hyde Park as I often do on sunny Sunday afternoons Joining hundreds engaging in dialogue on Speakers’ Corner. Getting on a soap box Gains you a hearing though shouting  At one another is a vexing feature  Of Speaker’s Corner. Truth telling can be soft or loud  But percolates our being Through the ears of the heart Down through our lives. My Muslim friend admitted his prophet lies dead in Medina Whilst ‘prophet’ Jesus lives with God And we both await his return. Speakers’ Corner is a refreshing place Helping make sense of difference Schooling amicable disagreement  On a Sunday afternoon. John Twisleton  23 July 2023

Distraction 8.7.20

Image
Distraction In a moment of distraction I read ‘Distraction is the root of sin’. It is certainly a short fall. Losing sight of the ball can lose you the game. A poem though is a distraction from the prose flow of life, affirming a higher level, reminding me I can stand in mind above that flow. Other thinking and acting takes me lower. Knowing what I ought to do I am taken from that by sinful distraction. To live in the present moment  serving obligations yet attending to the high call  of God and neighbour will keep me on course.
