Little Flames

Little flames 
surrounded by brick 
            Christ on the cross 

Silent Angels 
waiting for the service 
              to begin 

Wood, incense, dusty books, 
                    filled with 
             ancient hymns 

Kneeler creak, glass doors 
                     sometimes ... 
             God arrives too late ! 

Whispers from heaven 
               open arms 
         sometimes he catches you 

as you sit filled with despair 
                 free falling,   
                        GRACE!
