THE CATHEDRAL MOMENT

 

Even if hurting is happening

you can still go inside.

 

Enter through the portico

of pain. Once within

 

the cathedral walls

don’t pillage the space

 

with your disappointment

inhabit the sanctuary fully.

 

Let the sanctity 

surround you, absorb you.

 

Send distraction into 

the halo overhead

 

into the streaming sunbeams

into divinity’s dome

 

cooing like doves disappearing

into hidden rafters.

 

Every second 

can be the Sabbath

 

when observance dissolves

into presence.
