St Johns Episcopal Church Ruins

            Harpers Ferry, WV.....from a group of poems my father wrote when he was young, my father has since deceased.

The Ruined Church Walls

Walls that crumbled
  With the times,
Where once there pealed
  Holy chimes;

Once a choir
  Within the walls,
Sang sweet hymns
  Like madrigals.

Shattered ruins
  Of mossy stones,
Old and as cranny
  As human bones,

There where hangs
  A strip of moss,
Clings a shadow 
  Of an aged cross.

         LC Shropshire

note: I once could see the shadow of a cross on the walls of this church but haven't been able to find it recently.
