Cathedral

Cathedral

And there, so deep inside the darkest woods;
a sudden clearing, bright in sunlight waits,
long after all the head-high bracken fades,
long after the entangled brambles unwind.
It is a refuge, silent hidden, a place
of sanctuary, safe for us to stay.

The sunlight streaming in, up where the trees
each open their green, reaching fingers out
into a canopy over our heads
beneath this bright forgiving sky above
makes it a sacred place for our devotions.

This soft green grass for us to lie and offer
our nakedness in, as the sun heals us.
This place is special and deserves our praise,
we're going to remember how we ought
to live in glory, love and time together.
This place will save us, make us whole again.
