In Hushed Cathedrals, A Stained Glass Poem

IN HUSHED CATHEDRALS

In hushed cathedrals

vivid images dance on ancient
stone floors worn smooth by kneeling.

Sunlight through

bits of colored glass
weaving patterns
on faces of worshipers.

Singing praises to the sun.
Colors dance,

soothing eyes and warming souls.

In hushed cathedrals

vivid images dance on ancient
stone floors worn smooth by kneeling.

Someone.
Unknown.
Craftsmen of ages past,

leaving legacies of
beauty in glass.

Generations blend

in timeless marches,
worshiping, awed,

inspired by ancient glass.

Generations sharing unknown bonds,

embraced by arms of colored light.
