Sunken Cathedral - Cinq
Gentling time barnacles claiming pews some fifty fathoms down 
chancel aisles naves resting ghostly new congregation comedown

almost heard by those above

Muffled a tolling bell below 
faithful call not so long ago

Gods churning black oceans will not cease
god please grant to them heavenly peace...

rays of sun filter through opaque panels above the chancel forming a cross of sun rays above us they pray to God above, everlasting presenter of light, represented by the sun God Ra Ra! God will not be contained given a name sufficient for all God is beyond the limits of word skills

Sunken Bell
Muffled tolling bell below 
calling faithful long ago

Gods churning black oceans will not cease
god please grant to them heavenly peace

Drowned the dead our lost tsunami friends 

Chancel aisles and naves now a ghostly new congregation comedown
gentle overtime now a barnacles business pews fifty fathoms down 

Almost remembered by those above
but not forgotten below

(Dedicated to the Tsunami dead past ((and future))...

Sunken Cathedral - Trois
Black churning death coming from the sea
No distinction twixt them you or me

Drowned the dead the lost tsunami friends
Not figuring so quick and sharp their ends

Unheard by those above
Muffled heard a tolling bell
A greeting in depths far below

Gentled by time a seas barnacle claimed pews many fathoms down 
Chancel aisles and naves perceived there filled ghostly a new congregation

God please grant them heavenly peace
God please grant them  peace...

Resting In the Sunken Cathedral
Brine muffled resonance given to the huge ancient tolling bells
till the fearsome proud gargoyles stare but now outface just fish

Gentled by time a seas barnacle claimed pews some fifty fathoms down 
chancel aisles and naves perceived there filled a ghostly congregation

Faithful now the drowned the dead the lost tsunami friends
they lie in the sea we know not where 

God please grant them heavenly peace
God please grant them  peace



Inspired by Claude Debussy’s piece...

The Sunken Cathedral (Deux)
A brine muffled resonance given to the huge ancient tolling bells
Still the fearsome proud gargoyles stare but now outface just fish

Gentled by time a seas barnacle claimed pews some fifty fathoms down 
Chancel aisles and naves perceived there filled a ghostly congregation

Faithful now the drowned the dead the lost tsunami friends
They lie in the sea we know not where 

God please grant them heavenly peace
God please grant them  peace
