The Colours of Guernsey - Martyn Legg

Stone upon stone, life upon life
We lie with each other and lie to each other
Below ground, above ground
We are built upon each other
Clothed by previous lives
Purged by ancient prayers
Without each other we are dust
Together we are a wall of humanity
Reaching, trusting, falling, failing
Mote flecks of impassioned lives
Ethereal glimpses of dreams gone by
Stone upon stone, hope upon hope
Standing tall against the flood of life…

Martyn Legg
