Stone Cathedrals of Glenwood Canyon

Stone Cathedrals of Glenwood Canyon Stone cathedral spires rise sharply from freely flowing waters - Birthing renewal through eternity’s eyes - Lifting up to the eternal A psalm, a canticle, to serenade the seasons, Singing celebration in Heaven’s waiting ear;, Reaching down to lift up Majestic mountain praise through hallowed halls With lyrics of the hawk and meadowlark - Walls decorated by the many hues of whispering aspen leaves Fluttering in perpetual praise and clothed in cleansing rains; No prodigal peaks Sneaking away from the thanksgiving song While a winding thread of chanting melody follows The path of renewing waters, Sounding then resounding - Captured then released in sanctuaries of red stone Cradling in the waiting womb ever breathing vitality Rising upward on wings of sunlight Shimmering with celestial awakening and the waning light; Eternal beating pulse Stretching up for majesty into a bottomless sky Feeling winds of winter storms - tickling stars in moonlight; Embracing ever new cathedrals Formed by flowing winds and winding waters. 10/16/19 Emile Pinet - Sponsor Give Me Your Best New Poem

I just adore all the musical references you wove into this tapestry: psalm, canticle, serenade, singing celebration, mountain praise, lyrics, thanksgiving song, chanting melody, beating pulse... THEN, in parallel all the spiritual references: cathedral, spires, renewal, eternal, prodigal, sanctuaries, awakening, vitality. An utter delight to read and reread, Sam. This must be a powerful place for you to visit.
