Large decorative front doors
Opening our hearts wide
In a good way, Anglican
With sharp edges probing us
Old, reaching out to the ageless
Making us feel our timelessness
Ornate beauty, inspiring us to find
What lingers just beyond our grasp
But causes us to rise
Above our small selves
Light through stain-glass windows
Streaming through us
Into our souls
Angelic voices, capturing our sweetness
Carrying us high above
Faces, all shades of the rainbow
God’s love, from all directions
