Linking with the Sunday Muse for Muse # 51
I decided to be different and write two different poems for the photo. I would love to hear from you which one is your favorite and why?
Have a great weekend everyone!
Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.
~G.K. Chesterton
Looking Deeper Within,
Sometimes great cathedral windows seem like eyes
That when you look into them, it is like peering into the
soul of humanity
So much history
So many prayers within those walls
The architecture of our great grandfathers
Standing the test of time
Magnificent and still full of humility
Yet, in its solidarity, there is still so much division
It makes me sad looking in
However, when I step into its foyer
It makes me look deeper within
The halls of myself
and my hope is again renewed.
*************************************************
The Blue of
Longing,
My heart has been here before in dreams
Outside the stained glass window looking in
The wind is high with longing
and my hair is lose like a harlot
Flying all over the place
I long to enter the cathedral
To be a part of the congregation
To sing as sweet as birds do
but I wake up with a tickle in my throat
Like swallowing a fallen feather
With amazing grace upon my lips
and a thicket of questions upon my breath
I am certain If longing were a color,
it would be a deeper
blue
A stained glass menagerie
My heart seems to know too well
but it is hope that keeps me searching
For answers within that blue abyss
It is hope that shall walk me down the inner aisle.
