Pine tree cathedral
Edward Joseph Anthony 1949 (PA)
It is grace
That holds mortal together
The awesome cathedral
Bonded by terra sancta
Seraphim and Cherubim
Lift high the eaves
Flying buttresses supported
By tradition and prayer
Pine trees and Redwoods
Create a sanctuary
Rising to heights
Like Frankincense on a
Carpet of multicolored flora
Placed on the sacred table
Struck by the sparks of nature’s
Delicate light and strength
