Clear, rippling water fills the
baptismal font over the endless knot of eternity.
Gold and glistening the Organ’s pipes stretch toward heaven.
Colorful and pure the stained glass tells stories from old.

Dim and reverent the candles fight back the darkness.
Tinted and colorful the sunlight pours through the stained glass.
Bright and clean the alter stands above all.

Reverent whispers mention the teachings of old.
Mumbling softly lost and despondent people stop to pray.
Shuffling feet try to press through without making a sound.
The undying silence is overwhelming.

How did this plot of heaven fall to Earth?
Does everyone feel the peace I felt upon entering?

The flowing waves of peace cleanse my soul.
A gentle breeze of reverence swirls around me.
The warm sword of calm and content pierces through my soul.
PEACE

PEACE

PEACE

Peace be unto you.
