(written for my husband who built a beautiful cross for a church that had none, for a friend out of love, and then spent Easter in the garden working, the place where he sees God.) Cathedral of Trees Dressed in silk patterned soft subdue, the ladies cover the sidewalk, in Easter suited splendor the little boys in white fidget and frilly girls dance in circles down the steps of cobbled wall church where organ’s heavy heart rejoices. In another place I see holy in a cross carved by dear hands, touched by gold it climbs the sky to gift this day with profound love given for friendship and blessed with his blue eyes that worship in a different church where he touches God in dark and fragrant soil under the cathedral of trees in the garden.

Martie~ What a lovely loving treat. Your husband is to be *HUGGED*. Take care of that for me, will you? Thank you for sharing this little piece of your life with me on this day. I love you, my sister. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Wonderful, Martie. There are many cathedrals and places of worship. I admire your husband for doing that. Shucks, I admire him just for having you! Beautiful work.... |

This was a lovey poem to post near Easter too  "Love is the only drug you can take that will convince you each time that you've never had it before." ~author unknown~ |
