With Eyes Wide Open
With Eyes Wide Open
St Mary’s College Oscott
Sturdy trees
surround the grounds likes sentries,
aged roots spreading underground
obscuring the view from outside.
Walking with trepidation
through iron gates, with eyes opened wide.
Observing
an oasis of wildlife
thriving amidst the concrete city.
A sacred sanctuary,
a seminary,
flanked by this silent ancient cemetery.
Oscott Cemetery
With its rows of stone monuments
remembering those who have past.
Lives lived with vitality, expectancy,
laughter filled moments, and tears that fell too,
a reminder that our years race by so quickly,
and life is not to be lived half heartly, or at half-mast.
We unfurl the sails,
taking to lives temporary seas,
navigating through the roaring winds,
the soothing breezes,
the raging torrents that are life, with eyes wide open.
Walking the paths that stretch before me.
Wrapped around my hands the beads of my rosary.
Glancing towards the grave stones.
Housing life’s dry bones.
Reminding me that one day
these wide open eyes,
will close to life’s adventures,
until awakened to eternal fixtures,
awaking to love, the final destination,
my eyes in awesome wonder, wide open!
