My Journey to God

Cathedral

Pillar’s gold shimmers brightly in the sun, streaming in the stained-glass window.

Quietness fills the air,
sitting silently in a pew.
The mural of him is so big, so pretty.
Spiral stairs adorn the sides.

Feel the hope, the love of this place.

Eyes see the pictures of the pain,
the hardship of the Rock, of our cathedral, the sacred place that
consumes our hearts.

Angels above me feel
the Spirit’s fiery heat,
the holy flame burning bright
in you, in me
because of this holy place.
