Our Lady

my mind opened revealing 
a sudden gallery of brilliant
patterns a canvas being viewed  
from afar amid a certain 

necessary unlived feeling 
i'd marvaled beyond infamous 
gazing filling the emptiness
why i began to master thought 

finding myself somewhere 
over the greenery
pastures of soft calm waters 
being poured over my flesh 

as i beckoned calmness
i suppose as my feet settled
apon smooth stones that covered 
the entrance as ivy climbed 

reaching a sullen sounds 
of purgatory silenced delivered 
a ravishing draught  a fasting 
created within my whither spirit 

gently i walked through 
st patrick's garden gate
while mercy and kindness 
deminshed discoil and hate
