Stone Spires

Stone Spires Stone cathedral spires rise Sharply From freely flowing waters Birthing rebirth - Lifting up unto the eternal A psalm A canticle To celebrate the seasons; Singing celebration in Heaven's waiting ears; Reaching down to lift up Majestic mountain praise Through hallowed red rock halls With lyrics of the hawk And meadowlark - Walls decorated by leafy banners in many hues Of whispering Aspen leaves Fluttering in perpetual praise Robed in crystal cleansing rains; No prodigal peaks Sneaking away From the thanksgiving song As rounded stepping-stones welcome enter To capture adoration With stars that glitter - Celestial fugitives - Chanting formed By melody Heard from lofts of crags Exalting, Highland descants Following the harmonies Of renewing waters Sounding then resounding, Call and respond, Captured then released Vibrating through the sanctuary stones; Worship choruses, Breathes with the breathless Waiting For a cradle song, - Vitality renewing - In newborn cathedral strains Rising up On wings Of stirring sunlight Matins A cosmic shimmer Awakening An evensong of waning light Eternal beating Rhyme And Rhythm Stretching up For majesty Into a bottomless sky Stanzas touching winter storms Mantras tickling stars through moonlight Pulsing through the flowing winds And ever wending waters.
