The wisest garment


In memory of John Marsh

26th December 1947 - 30th August 2020

The wisest garment

We chewed the fat over many years

with friendship set on a clear-cut course

We shot through Time, back to point zero

There, in the white start, the Big Bang cause

was not diced into a multiverse

We counted four dimensions - your count

of all the arguments for our God

were silver stars in the secure truth

Forged by the Lord’s hand. He holds yours now.

We laughed as the old Westminster gears

stopped and started. Your grasp of the past

added vibrant blues to thought chambers

in which your firm faith emporia

entertained kindness - you hosted well

Your landscape was the wisest garment

Fine fabric stretched from your Lancashire

To Hertfordshire and to new places

Family was treasure to you John

Let loving Peace be today’s treasure

and for always, my true and dear friend
