Notre Dame

What malice kindled all-consuming fire

Vanquishing gift of faith and hope and love?

Did indifference provoke holy ire

For now flakes of ash like a dying dove

Descend swiftly to consecrated earth

As a bitter remembrance of things past.

Yet even if death does come so does birth

Of the true cathedral that has been cast

Not lovingly made from wood, glass and stone

Nor a blessed relic of a crown of thorn

But in God’s creations of flesh and bone

Holy light reflects in sacred tears born

…..Falling now drop by drop upon the heart

…..Comes wisdom through grace of God’s awesome art.
