I Stand

I stand

Waiting out the ages

Of man

Wood, bone and stone

Bronze, copper and iron

All I have seen

Waiting out the ages

Of metals and chemicals

Machines faster than a thought

All I have seen

Waiting out the ages

Of man

I stand

Waiting out the ages

Of spirits and lights

Fire and ice

All I have seen

Waiting out the ages

The horizon changes

And I wait no more

 

 

This image and poem [as it does here on Flickr in the Album ‘The Christ Tree And Friends’] is featured on a new page on my website, along with the recent Christ Tree Poems that I placed up on Flickr for Easter. They are a particular favourite of mine, and I always wanted to feature them on my website, as they are meant to be seen, image and text working together. Along with The Christ Tree Poems there will appear other characters, such as this work, ‘I Stand’. This is the same ‘character’ that appears in the work ‘Event Horizon’ which you can find in my gallery and the Album ‘The Christ Tree And Friends’ here on Flickr. I am intending to add to these works with new pieces featuring The Christ Tree, as he has much more to say.

You can also find these works on the new page ‘Heaven On Earth’ in the drop down menu on the Home Page under the main heading ‘Another Time’ on my website.

 

This image was taken at Wilmington, East Sussex, UK. And if you would like to see more of my work please find me here:
