My eyes lift
to the center arch
as light breaks
through the caged
lamp-tops
Illuminating the cool,
smooth tiles above….
Moments before
I stepped into
this historic cathedral,
I learned that a friend
had passed, walked
into heaven just hours
ago, and now I bow
my head, imagine
her like that light,
her soul waking,
breaking from her
wearied body,
a soft light rising
into the open arms
of Love.
