 noble feeling cultivated and activated
that  is amalgamated in divine friendship, 
dignifying the human condition,,,
Rising to spiritual brotherhood status!...

Neither for majesty
of erudite loquacity
nor for elegance
of literary superiority
does he deeply crave
to gain mundane popularity;

but truly gifted he is
with the eloquence of silence,
the dignifying humility
and grateful reverence,
the persuasive power
of quiet truth, his best defense....

faith
                    spiritual, disloyal 
      believing, converting, confessing 
steadfastness, sincerity, goodwill, poise
     dignifying, embellishing, justifying 
                     elegant, gallant 
                            grace

Footsteps echo in the hollow hallway 
around the old cavernous cathedral
making the silence much too deafening.
 

      The tall candle's faintly flickering flame
      proves too confined, too feeble to brighten
      the indigo darkness all around it.
 

           Tonight, the hard, wooden kneeler torments
           my knees, but strangely somehow dignifies,
           reassures the core of the core of me.

Break and wind
the ribbons through your velvet hair
leveling the light
from moonless shadowed smiles

For all tonight will
know you for your voice
and call you for your
wisdom broken bare

while dignifying moons to velvet miles


Stare the stars
until they mirror metal eyes
dance about in tears
from oblique circumstances

For all tonight will
find you in their heart
and know you for the way
you simply care

it's this which even stars above entrances....

Noble beauty the landscape embraces
Dignifying these mountain faces
Trembling water begins to ripple
Through this divinely painted oasis

Off in the distance an eagle takes flight
Circling left then gliding right
Dipping down to catch and feed
Soaring into the broad daylight

Nature's majesty here is so rare
Bejeweled shards of crisp,clean air
Breathe in deeply and heal your soul
In this magnificence lose all care
