Upon Reaching



Upon reaching

we stand
hand in hand
at Ben Barker's
grave site,
we hear
the stillness of
  nothing
through your
  preaching
we hear
the preacher's
voice ring
out over the hilltop
we see
limp boards
tin-soldier style
transform into
  church benches
your teaching
  we feel
  soul in soul
  life then
  life now
upon reaching
we stand
  hand in hand
