'Hobbled by life, I searched for open doors...'

Poem: Meeting Minutes (Friends Meeting House, Rochester)

'Hobbled by life, I searched for open doors...'

by Joseph Long 20th June 2025

Hobbled by life, I searched for open doors
to escape this boastful, plug-in city.
Found one, just as the weather was coming fast.
In here, my place was already set
with silence waiting, inviting me to sit.
