The Other Church

The other Church Kai - Pembrokeshire Way back beyond the crested waves that spill the ocean ‘Church Rock’ towers with puffins and seagulls singing the tune of nature how many times have I prayed to God Tai - Southbroom When times are rough she takes the image and sits on the rocks in silent meditation where the tussle of spray paints her sorrows with birdsong and healing embrace When the surf had taken me below rocks and foundations I asked to help out at the soup kitchen to lighten my load emerge from darkness but ‘sorry we do not need you here' When she had her first child out of wedlock the pastor said ‘you are evil this must be Satan’s child’ and again there was no meagre space at the inn for illegitimate joy The Buddha rocked me gently into a cumbersome slumber and Tai was embraced by the Jewish community and showered with food and clothes for the miracle child starred with David Tai and Kai – the Universe There is love beyond borders and the sky is the limit the waters flow freely from source to the sea and when hypocrisy beckons there is elsewhere a church called kindness compassion and love 15th February 2017
