On The Isle Of Patmos

In 2006 I was fortunate to be on pilgrimage and visit the Isle of Patmos where St John received visions which are recorded in his Book of Revelation.

I felt very much at home here as I recalled him seeing the Woman who was giving birth to a male child which was taken up to heaven. Such a meaningful place for me to visit under my circumstances.

1.
On the isle of Patmos, I remembered you, John
I trod the very paths that you once walked on.
And as I stepped inside that rugged cave, and travelled back
In time to where you lay
I felt I was home.

2.
On the isle of Patmos, I remembered you, John,
I saw the very sights your eyes were fixed on
And as I prayed in that old rugged cave, treasuring in my mind
Where you once laid
I at last came home.

3.
On the isle of Patmos, I remembered you, John,
I felt your timeless presence in an age long since gone
And as I left behind that rugged cave, the
Memories of where you once had lain
I knew I’d come home.
