I foot the avenue like a summer bride
a cathedralesque affair with far off altar rail
one mile or so the aisle - quite long enough
to play adagio some processional wedding motif
pews each side veiled, brim-filled and wide
dark as emeralds in deep stone shade
with brilliant coloured stains of small glass panes
where breezes part the leaves, a glint of sun
in the end there is no altar
only a heartfelt grateful prayer
