Cold Harbor Cathedrals

(Cold Harbor, Virginia, May 31-June 12, 1864;
1,845 Union dead, 788 Confederate dead)
	
	
	
	cathedrals rise,
tall arching boughs, crisscrossing limbs,
lush, leafy rooftops lofted high
and rustled by warm tender breeze;
green rooftops shimmer, reverent,
while casting shade to consecrate
this hallowed ground,
	this battlefield,
topography forever scarred
by trench and earthworks dug in haste
scratched out for fear and valor's sake,
	grave-deep furrows
		once harbor to 
depleted men

Forgotten Cathedrals

External decorations of solid gold heralding entrances of Axi Mundi creation, paintings and sculptures of another era, sacred eyes await at the forefront. 
Feel free to enter in, peace, love, understanding, mystical adoration all here. Present in this place the Sanctuary bliss of those who trust.  You are welcome to walk through; (B)

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

Castles In Cathedrals

It is an old saw indeed
that a person's home is castle,
and I hope this is more true than not,
however simple.

Yet for me,
it is when I step outside this castle
that I enter our shared sacred cathedral,
which feels more important
and adventurous,
and wonderful
than my too stifling castle,
however sublime.

Ocean Cathedrals

million miles across the room
you sing your insect chants
your contours blurred
like ocean cathedrals
and our love is like a missile
and muskets

cheers to the dark and the endless

'cause someday we'll live, I promise
far away from this mass dementia, 
macabre spectacle, 
manufactured beasts
and fabricated lies
at the bottom of the seafloor
in our own shell house
in Mariana Trench

but for the

Cathedrals To Dream

As in sheets, sheared time is laid 
 forever dream-weaving in sweet sage
  lasting breaths to aching pleas
   sleeves of soul sway in the breeze
   Falling leaves are grazing check
  caressing gentle as softly sleeps
 Lillie’s teasing arising to greet 
milking petals beneath my feet


Kisses brush my mouth to
