A Poem In Stone Poem by Margaret O Driscoll
A Poem In Stone
Awed by its architecture
I step inside
Gigantic Gothic arches
Rise on either side
Atop red marble columns
Along each side of the aisle
A collosal feat of construction
Created to Pugin's style
Splendid stained glass windows
Depicting saints of glory
Sun's rays shine through the hues
Each panel tells a story
Jesus and his apostles in white marble
The Last Supper around the table
Pricelss treasures by master craftsmen
Gifted, artistic, diligent and able
I pray for my family and I
As I stand there alone
In that graceful peaceful sanctuary
A poem in stone
What an inspiring poem to chronicle a visit to a hall of worship filled with treasured statues and handiwork from past ages. The descriptions set the scene in perfect flow and choice of words and the ending line - so perfect - a poem in stone. What family will not be blessed by this gesture and this chronicle? Thank you for this visit in graceful and reverent words.
Thank you Liilia, glad you like it, you are most welcome for the visit! ! Praise indeed from a gifted wordsmith! !
