A silent church is like no other silence

A silent church is like no other silence.
It comes upon you like a morning glory
slowly unfolding its petals.  It's an intense
openness where the senses marry.
A silent church is like no other silence.

And at the crown a shimmering borealis.
As though numberless prayers might invest
themselves.  And all those kneeling without malice
bathe in in that energy and grow blest.
A silent church is like no other silence.
