Cathedral of Pine

I hold discarded bows

That held your hand like

I wish you had held mine. 

In the dark, I taste the earth,

As the loon calls prayers 

Into the night

Oh This is way 

Of the chapel of light

Where the fire can grow

Something deep inside

Oh Take me away

To the cathedral of pines

Where my heart can be still

While the whippoorwill cries  

The thrush it ducks and weaves

Through rose and lets me know

The sun has caught fire

Does he like me come here 

to chase away his fear, 

And ease a  troubled mind

Oh This is way 

Of the chapel of light

Where the fire can grow

Something deep inside

Oh Take me away

To the cathedral of pines

Where my heart can be still

While the whippoorwill cries  

I count the breaths to take the shot, 

The light is still, my heart is not

I dress him down, the hours wain

His tale, my day, The end the same 

Because This is way 

Of the cathedral of light

Where the fire wil grow

Something deep inside

Go on and take me away

To the cathedral of the pines

Where my heart can be still

While the whippoorwill cries
