Two Steeples

A Poem

Drawn close together,

Smoothed and embraced,

Cleansed of sin – our differences dissolve.

Every form welcomed,

Bones and blood laid bare beneath

The stained glass, shifting in fractured light.

In this sanctuary, the esoteric finds refuge,

Shelter,

Love infused with the scent of wood and care.

A golden, tender glow,

Slide guitar whispers and sawdust echoes,

In a dance of black and white, unrestrained.

Whispers in shadowed corners,

Clouds drifting across our gaze,

Unfolding, flowing; our lives entwined.

A haven of kindness,

Nurtured by fearless souls,

Lifting us in a -

World that often overlooks such grace.

A carved-out space, sculpted from compassion,

Hope that breathes with the promise of the eternal.
