Hallowed Silence
Hallowed silence
stalks grey centuries of time;
walking slowly
through the nave,
gradually I am aware,
that with me walk departed souls
who used to worship here.
As if in smiling greeting,
symbols now appear
high on the vault,
a myriad golden sunflowers
dance, briefly bathed in light.
My heart is filled with peace
and the warmest inner glow,
as in the tranquil stillness,
with certainty I know,
spirits of the dead
live on. I feel their
presence now.
