Holy Order

stone for stone the building
had begat during
the nature of sudden
earthquakes a calling of holiness

beyond the greatness
of st Francis of assist
while my eyes focused on
the smaller pebbles being tossed

about the raw gravel throughout
such graveness why
I never questioned him I could only
witness the coming before me

his hands held my face upward
as the brightness covered
his image for small moments glimpse's
of his eyes bathed me

within a sorrowful notion
that this  life was only the beginning
he expressed disaster and omens
were necessary benefactors

to calm his own wrath
beneath my whithered soul
