Lost Cathedral

Lost Cathedral

Ancient Stone

The Whitebark Elder

And the stray Primrose

Holy Violets
Love takes wing
Beware the Larkspur
Opening

 

Grace unfolding
Heed the morning light
Beyond all knowing 
The Heron taking flight

 

We the Witness
Trace the centuries
What tree rings are amiss?
All quiet in the rookery
rookery rookery rookery

 

Beware the mortal tendency
 

Could we be forgiven?
Could we be redeemed?
What if we could be redeemed?

 

The water carries
The question I can’t hold
If the Violets listen
Their future is told

 

Do you believe
A prayer can find
The Lost Cathedral
Of our Mind?

 

The loss
The lost
The loss
The lost

 

Could we be forgiven?
Could we be redeemed?
