Description
Inhale color, inhale light.

Close your eyes and exhale your sorrow and regret.
Inhale the sacred light surrounding you, wherever you may be.

Be color, be light.

INTERCESSION

Rows of wax pillars

in glass votive holders

radiate ruby glow

onto Virgin’s likeness.

A veiled mourner slips her donation

into wrought iron slot,

touches match to pristine wick,

then kneels on worn velvet cushion.

whispers fervent prayers

for release of husband’s soul.

Father hears confessions

in a dark booth, fashioned

for recounting sinful secrets.

Scattered in pews,

new penitents finger rosaries

to seal God's forgiveness.

Late afternoon light

pierces stained glass,

flooding the sanctuary

with miraculous color.

No one takes notice.
