“Butterflies” 

Sun shines its burning 
star light into mirrors 
reflecting upwards 
captured and carried
the whispering watchers 
observe poetic candour 
in the fluttering wings
love molecules now 
set in motion 
are felt not seen
to heartbeats dancing 
freeing...

Entire populations’ death he fulfilled.
Kill them all, God would command.

William walks the Thameside path 
to skirt the Whitecross public house
beside the bankside boats
some covered by their winter canvas coats

The man pious entered the dark cell of prayer
Then with a hand stretched towards the wall
and a click almost magical,

Eyes met eyes in...

Grace sings…
In glorious praise
Heaven’s healing, hope
Riding the waves of inspiration,
Laughter, light, gratification

Grace smiles…
Sending peace and promise
Rare joy, breathing from a heart

Grace breathes…
Silencing all the worries,
Reassuring, inspiring, charming
Filling the...

to the threshold of a new year
And as I look Beyond I could see...

His light shining down makes me whole

Dear God, WHY?
© Ben Burton 

There's precious little joy in growing old
When few, if any, life-long friends survive
Fond memories seem richer when they're told
To someone who can smile and verify

Yet, it is thus and thus...

For he was the direct descendant of our father in the heavenly skies.
Born to a body of fleshy sin,
Though what laid beneath was unlike the rest of...

On this night before Christmas
As I sit here alone
Thinking of Jesus
And all at his throne

I bow my head silently
And pray just to you

Incense clings in the air
great clouds
stealing into dark corners
of stained wood and cold marble floors.
I watch the casket roll by
and memories take me.
