Inspirational People
When I went to a cathedral in France for an afternoon concert
The boys came to us from all directions
from the mountains
the sound of their young voices
pierced through the thick stone walls
the colorful stained streaks of sun
the dusty pews, the full crowd
pulled us closer
Closer to our insides
a beating heart pulled out
now, here was a place to think,
sound to guide.
In Padova, Italy at St. Anthony’s Cathedral
people pray
place their hands on the grave
leave pictures and notes of awakening
Without warning I feel connected with these people,
pulled in
elevated beyond my reach
to explain why the concentration of a church crowd praying
allows something inside of me to open.
