Stone Symphony
A cathedral, a petrified forest,
reaching, striving for the celestial.
Arches, skeletal fingers,
grasping at the impossible light.
Sunlight, a fractured diamond,
filtered through stained glass,
painting the stone emerald, sapphire, and ruby.
Shadows, deep, cathedral-black,
sculpting the silent prayers of centuries.
A silent guardian, this stone sentinel,
?watching the world drift by,
listening to whispered prayers,
unfolding like ancient hymns in the air.
The nave, a tunnel of ethereal light,
lost in the echoing grandeur,
a testament to faith,
a timeless whispered prayer.
Time, a phantom, dust motes dancing,
within this cathedral of stone,
forever caught, eternally suspended.
A whispering echo of ages past.
The intricate carvings,
whispering tales of kings and saints,
faith and fortitude,
are woven into the very fabric of stone.
A sacred space, breathing with history,
a symphony of stone and light.
A timeless hymn, carved in stone and glass.
A silent vigil, eternal.
