🥂 Poetry, Pimms, and Community Spirit at St Michael's! 📜
Members of St Piran’s Lodge had a wonderful evening out in the community recently, attending the fantastic 'Pimms and Poems' evening hosted by St Michael’s Church (Atlantic Coast Cluster) here in Perranporth.
It was a brilliant night of fellowship, refreshments, and local creativity within the church's beautifully refurbished space. We were honoured to contribute to the evening's entertainment, with one of our Brethren stepping up to read a bespoke poem written especially for the event.
For those who couldn't make it, we wanted to share the words with you here. It celebrates our shared Cornish roots, the turning of the seasons, and the proud history that links our community together:
🌅 The Turning of the Year 🌅
A Poem for St. Michael’s Church
The winter’s chill has finally ceased its hold,
As March turns grey to green and green to gold.
The days stretch out, as if to find the sun,
A season of renewal has begun.
Beneath the spire where St. Michael stands,
We gather now with open hearts and hands.
And from the Lodge that bears St. Piran’s name,
We share the warmth of hope’s returning flame.
From Donald Healey Way to the ocean shore,
The dark of winter troubles us no more.
For like the flowers that rise from Cornish soil,
We find our strength in fellowship and toil.
The longer days bring light to every face,
Within this newly bright, refurbished space.
A time for growth, for brotherhood and cheer,
The finest season of the turning year.
A huge thank you to everyone at St Michael’s for hosting such a lovely evening and making us feel so welcome. We are incredibly proud to support our local community!
