Poem: Contemplation at the Altar

Amidst the whispering shadows of a sacred retreat, she sits, a solitary figure wrapped in the gentle embrace of silence. The church’s breath is a soft hymn, a hushed choir of flickering candles and the soft sigh of stained glass bathed in the sun’s embrace. Her black dress flows like a quiet river, pooling at her feet, a mirror of the solemnity she wears like a crown. Her hair, a cascade of night, spills over her shoulders, veiling her face in mystery. Yet there is a light in her posture, a luminescence that speaks not of the world outside but of the one within. Before her, the altar blooms with white flowers, pure as whispered prayers, lilies perhaps, or roses that have dared bloom in the heart of winter. Around her, the architecture whispers tales of old, of saints and seekers, their stories etched in stone and light. The air is thick with reverence, a tangible thing that dances in the glow of the candles, each flame a tiny star in this galaxy of devotion. Her gaze, though hidden, is felt, a deep pull into the depths of her own soul, seeking communion with the ineffable. In this hallowed sanctuary, she becomes a vessel of contemplation, her thoughts weaving like the incense smoke, spiraling upwards, a fragrant offering to the divine. Here, in the stillness, she finds herself adrift and anchored all at once, a paradox of peace amidst the profound, a beautiful echo of the divine feminine, eternally connected to the sacred pulse of the universe.
