'Meet Me In The Spiral'

Happy Valentine's Day.

Yesterday Mairi & I were at the wedding of our good friends Doug (Collinson) & Nic. It was held at the converted church Oran Mor in Glasgow's West End. I took this shot as we were leaving via the staircase in the bell-tower. Whilst dreaming up a title I came across this rather nice poem by AJ Mayfield [link here hellopoetry.com/Rivenheart/]

 

'Dance Upon a Spiral Staircase'

(2014)

Going up or coming down,

be not dizzy going ‘round

On the roof or on the staircase,

always seeking, often loving

Let our hearts be light and true,

never trapped nor earthly-bound

Meet me often in the spiral,

meet me once on hallowed ground

There our cares shall be forgotten,

there our sweet embrace be found

There our final song be spoken,

there our eulogy be sung

Let the bells toll out our courage,

let the mourners cry aloud

We won't be there, will we darling,

we won’t stay to hear the sound

They may linger in remembrance,

we'll be dancing on a cloud
