sanctuary

 

Light snailed across the stone, 

quiet along a side wall 

where I stood.

 

The nave opened outward, 

steady in its own pattern, 

yet nothing in it called for me.

 

I stayed near the edge, 

following each shift of sound 

as it travelled through the high vaults, 

confident in its passing.

 

In this small place, 

the day held long enough

for me to listen 

and abide.
