The Cathedral
You are my Cathedral
I find both peace
and beauty within
Its a place
where I go to worship
To be in touch
and connect with you
The quietness
The soulful melody
whispering with clarity
as it radiates down the aisles
filling the space with peace
The stained glass
which tells our stories
The majestic rose window
through which the sun shines
Backlighting our memories
The atmosphere is precious
and I savour it daily
And yet when I kneel
before your high altar
I am transported to paradise
I like how the cathedral becomes more than a place of peace here: it is a space where memory, light, and presence meet. The image of sunlight passing through the stained glass and backlighting the memories is especially beautiful — as if what we have lived could continue to receive light.
