The Long Ago

In the long, the long ago.
A creature crawled from 'neath the mire,
And centuries and centuries hence,
You see him in York Minster's spire.

Thank you for your kind response, Linda. I haven't replied or posted anything, let alone read other people's poems, for ages, as I've been in a bad place for some time. I hope to change that. CLIFF

Hello, SKAT. Sorry I did not reply but I've been in a difficult place for the last couple of years. I'm over it now.
