Empty bluestone vessels Walls laden with ancient paint A sociological observation In contrast our lives full of whole Bodies vibrant with first touch of spring Blessing to exist in these times Legitimate love Handed down by generations Of queer folk missing In aisles of pews Meeting in coffee booths And under apple trees Unseen walls of tapestries Growing in knowledge Of the extent of love Found within and without Needing a place to quieten Suspend all judgement Fall into arms of lover All other notions Idealised Idea lies I'd hear lies A gift of the person Placed before me The spirituality of A healthy dose of wonderment
