Echoes

It's so quiet in this outdoor cathedral

Where there's only thoughts .... and hopes

Each developing into a penetrating likeness of unparallel beauty and soul

Visuals serving undefeated spirit

Rising images born in the fires of a boundless heart

Then the stillness here, broken by echoes of a voice

Arriving with the northern winds

After the storm and ensuing calm

And it's always been here for ages, spreading warmth

An advertisement for spiritual tenacity

How could it be anything else?
