------Altar of Life------

The wall rises before me,
an alter to the spirit of earth.
Oak wreaths present testament
to a hallowed monument for
all life which God created.
Inspiration, flowing from scarred ribs, 
ignites the fire of life's courage.
Silver eagles of hope
floating on the breathe of heaven,
soar across its pinacles,
magnificence in grace and sovereignty.
Tears of forgiveness 
nourish the soul of the valley, 
feeding hearts with love.
A halo of diamonds
nightly bestow a royal coronation,
renewing devotion
to the holy sacraments of life.
Kneel before this vision of purpose
and take from it
satisfaction and realization of being.
