A tribute to Sir Lloyd Geering

The Rev. John Fairbrother

 

Troubling, to engage
Tradition's weighty store
 
Winnowing reason
From resolute defence
 
Like Gideon freed
With fearless voice
 
Sowing hope's domain
between hardened forms
 
Unsettling hood and Nave
With argument littering
 
Well-ordered halls
of learn è d thought
                       
Meanwhile stars reflect
Earth's rhythmic song
