Congratulations Don on your winning contribution!
A Proper Ranking
An empty cross
And two disciples.
Unseen is the utmost pinnacle.
A risen Christ with arms outstretched in blessing?
And above that?
An open heaven.

The Church
Rising above
The sky, towering high
Over the city woven in
The Way We Do Things and The Way It Is
High Holy and ordinary
Days roll into years
Cared for, ruled by
The Church.
Sometimes
I find it hard to feel close to God
in the building built by men
to earn gold
to dress highly
to fill pockets
of their own
Sometimes
I find it hard to feel close to God
walking among "holy" men
with arms around children
a power abused
a life changed
Sometimes
I find it hard to feel close to God
sitting in the pews
surrounded by paintings
of blood dripping of faces
eyes shining in sorrow
Sometimes
But sometimes
I find it easy to feel close to God
under His trees speckled with sunlight
under His blue skies, wisps of white like strokes of a paintbrush
under His daily gaze and in His warm embrace
as I silently close my eyes
Sometimes
