THE CATHEDRAL ~ A Sonnet

 

NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL ~ PARIS FRANCE ~ COMPLETED 1354

 

Awe inspiring it has stood for centuries

Place of solitude and place of worship

I ascend the steps ~ enter the portal

I am instantly ushered to Heaven !

 

Quiet serene ~ sunlight through the stained glass

The Virgin Mary gazes down at me

A Jewish Maid still pondering in her heart

Why was she chosen to bear The Son of God ?

 

Multiple candles flicker ~ each one a Prayer

A Priest floats silent to Confessional

Nodding to Ladies in their mantillas

Sobbing for their own sins ~ and sins of others

 

Scents of incense ~ Saints ~ JESUS CRUCIFIED

Impel me to fall on my knees and PRAY !

 

Thanks for sharing ~ comments welcome ~ Blessings  BRIAN
