– Day 26 - Angels of Rest
Lattice of spectral shadows
Angel dance of light playing
Between light and shade
In intricate rivulets of stone
Tiny incubating chapel of rest
Hand hammered in minutiae by
Innumerable nameless masons
Whilst sleeping lords in tombed glory lie
Dedicated craftsmanship
Carvings by devoted hands
Meet modern day artistry
In peaceful glass and stone duet
Six illuminated angels
In crystalline spirals
Extend loving hands
Within sculpted cocoons
Inviting us to remember
Those whose essential selves
Still abide within the
Chambers of our hearts
Held there within
The intricate caverns
Of our memories -
By the lines of our love
The people you love
become ghosts inside of you and like this you keep them alive – Rob Montgomery
