Vacant

vast empty church, 'till a vagrant wanders in, clothes vintage and dated, a veiled girl is holding a vase and turns- but the man vanishes, leaves, quick the vagabond disappears . . . __________________ May 5, 2021 Poetry/Pleiades Verse/vacant Copyright Protected, ID 05-1352-715-05 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Pleiades V sponsor, Kim Merryman, Judged 05/07/2021 Third Place

Darlene, thanks for the visit and comment on my poem, yes, well that is the mystery of the poem, is the man the girl sees, God ? Is it a vagabond just afraid to be noticed and runs away? Is the girl holding the roses even real or a ghostly presence, love - Constance
