Church Tribute
Towie Church in Aberdeenshire closed in October 2024 and I am writing to share a poem about the church with readers.
Since the beginning of time
On this sacred space:
Bread broken, wine shared
Snowflakes on stones
Star shine on river
Wind through the trees
Rooks calling
Lambs on the hillside
Light through lancet windows
An open door
An outstretched hand offellowship clasped warm
Footfall on paths trodden through time
A laugh, a sigh, a bride’s tear, a shared grief
A feather, an angel’s wing
A legacy left.
Rosemary Grimley, Towie, Aberdeenshire
