| "Sky-Reaching Spirals" by Sherry Lynn. The historic St Louis Cathedral in New Orleans. |
To the skies, to the skies,
To the clouds and then beyond!
See the highs, grasp the prize,
Oh, that heaven would respond!
But heaven does respond:
its portal opens,
lays wide and discloses,
gapes, drapes, and shapes
and then throws, goes, and shows
—yea, pours and showers—
its life upon the bond, the yon, and all beyond!
Enter in, embrace, behold and stare,
then upward gaze with humbled eye;
Gone are distractions that blare.
The spires point up to signify
an approach to God in prayer.
- D. Benning
