Analysis of Deepest Places of Worship
I have been in cloistered places
Where the atmosphere is grave
Once a murder in Cathedral
That the King could not stop, save.
But acoustics, Man they’re special
And the loneliness not bad.
Bringing worship’s deepest utterance.
Timidity turned brave.
Once there’s quiet
On His plan.
Thinking shifts to
Leaving every trace of Man.
