In a nook of an old stone church
a cherub basks in the vesper light —
A childlike innocence for which I’ve searched
that seems to slip into the onset of night
Fade not away, you sweet dear boy
and never lose your childlike joy
Fight, fight
the snares of twilight
Inspired by a stone statue of a cherub above a side altar of St. Giles’ Cathedral, Edinburgh
