Rose window, bestowing wavelengths
Through the dark dulcet cavern overarching us
All stone and light, resolute center of a faithful craft
Holding court atop the sanctuary
Anchoring envoy windows all around the nave
Rose window, deliver me the warmth of a caroling sun
Like wings cycling through a disoriented millennium
This poem was published in the Spring 2020 issue of the Pennsylvania Literary Journal, page 413.
