To your eyes a thousand years are like yesterday.
Come and gone like a watch in the night.
Let us be open to a new day.
And a new dawning light.

I am looking towards Mont St Michel.
Crystal clear across the estuary.
I almost feel I can hear it’s calling bell.
The evening is shades of pink and distant grey.

But what a monument to faith’s call.
Standing proud for much more than any century.
We will not lose heart if it does not fall.
A place of prayer and sanctuary.

This is not just a place for the tourist season .
It is a place of hope and reason.

…..

Just a thousand years
Are for you a nighttime watch
Come and gone so soon

….

See Psalm 90
