Sacred

Sacred

This is sacred
as much as the locked fingers of prayer
this is the sound of hope
of retribution
the construction of passion
this is sacred
and it gives without judgment
takes without apology
this is not open for discussion
no gesture of perception
this is sacred
and it never sleeps
it is there
or it isn't
the permanance of gravity
this is from the inside
this is the soul
of being
the capture of all breath
this is
the unspoken answer
this is the maker
and this
is
sacred
