Sleet driven, a totter amongst aged shoulders in York

we side-skipped neon, 

our curiousity drawn to walled shelter,

skeletal dwelling place.

 

Stalled, we, in this perfect echo chamber

rapt in peal and wonder; elsewhere unheard;

bells, dulled by the highrise of commerce.

sleet, stalled, rapt inextricably are we in high finance for all to see

a shelter and quiet relief from glitter, sleet and money pressures - could you really hear the bells? Rhiannon

Thank you Vera,Pat, CM and Rhiannon, you are kind.

 

Yes, it was peculiar quality of the space amongst huddled architectecture,  clarity and amplitude, quite stunning. :)

Beautifully observed, a little wonder in the midst of the hurly-burly, your poem too.

You set a high standard Lena.  The next time I enter such a place I shall let the walls speak to me, as they do in your beautiful poem.

...but standards are only personalised banners of experience and life, yours will and do speak clearly of your own. S'all good :) :)
