The Cathedral of Stone

Within the cold gray stone, It lives a spiritual humming, A strumming rhythm of natures Raw essence. Breathing rock inhaling, exhaling As the earthen elemental surrounding Conscious thought. Knowledge’s smoothed edges, leave Reasons rough coarseness exposed. Humanities deaf ear, hears only, The hollowing of the four winds, Shutting out enlightenment's truth. Natures dream weaver touches Heaven, With her softest silken finger tips, And gods canvas falls unto earth. Behold a tapestry deepest blue, Lit by universal stars. In the stone circle, Mankind lifts innocence vial, Revealing ignorance blindness Of sight. And feels humiliation smallness. It's singular aloneness, individuality, Quest for immortality exists, On baron grounds frosted soil. In stillness silence, behold the Ring of fire. Lighting divine spirits to flame, Flickering embers alight igniting Destiny's spark. Intellect, intelligence a rebirthing From deaths black darkness. Within the cold gray stone, It lives a spiritual humming. A strumming rhythm of Natures raw essence. Breathing rock, inhaling, Exhaling. As the earthen element’s Surrounding conscious thought. A cathedral of stone, With one disciple Left in prayers knelling position. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
