Marble light falls through a hollow nave
Dust lifts soft where the echoes crave
Shadows bend near the trembling stone
Soul wakes faint in a voice unknown
Broken hymns rise through shattered glass
Tears drift warm as the ages pass
Candles glow in the muted rain
Wounds find rest in the ancient pain
Steps ring clear on the quiet floor
Old grief slips through an open door
Gentle hope stirs beneath the choir
Dreams return through the fading fire
Love hums low through the vaulted part
Warmth grows deep in the aching heart
Peace breathes close as the storms depart
I rise
In the cathedral of the lost heart
