Sat in St Nicholas’ churchyard
high up on the hill
overlooking Brighton
with all around me still
Sipped a bold, strong coffee
the sunshine breaking through
with history around me
which from my past I knew
There’s change around about of course
new buildings stark and cold
yet Brighton’s essence here remains
quintessentially old
A haven with a tranquil peace
God’s hand is present here
A little bit of heaven
with the bustling city near
