Emblem-The Church Wall

Look there,do you see the wall of red brick each upon the other: leans with great care. One joined evenly next to the other bonded together in equality: Participating in their purposes combining ,each their strengths the load to share: Weathered with the storms of life on its face enduring through eternity: an emblem poem,with a crude picture of an everyday scene,underwhich is a motto- followed by the poem.which is to teach,rather like a parable.This example of my was inspired by George Herbert's The Churche-Floore see mine with this poem at http://herbert-ichthys.blogspot.com/

Nice imagery , It reminds me of a proverb, "as iron sharpens iron,so one man sharpens another." I've been enjoying the "Crystalline"form~ let me know if you enjoy them. thanks for the form I'm exploring. God bless ~Rick(a little typo, Storms)
