Resting In the Sunken Cathedral

Brine muffled resonance given to the huge ancient tolling bells till the fearsome proud gargoyles stare but now outface just fish Gentled by time a seas barnacle claimed pews some fifty fathoms down chancel aisles and naves perceived there filled a ghostly congregation Faithful now the drowned the dead the lost tsunami friends they lie in the sea we know not where God please grant them heavenly peace God please grant them peace Inspired by Claude Debussy’s piece
