This poem was left in the library at Sharpham House after a retreat there last Autumn - it seems fitting to share it right now.

 

Ah, to be here once more,
A whole decade on...
The ambience remains so sweet,
Tho' time marches on.

A tune, so sweet, erupts
From lips, unused to hearing of themselves;
And, oh, the heart is restored
To a place of peace and perfect beauty!

Ah, to be here once more,
A whole decade on...
The autumn leaves coat this great land,
And my heart lingers on.
