A Visit to the Church

One day, I drove to a church.
Made my way through the double doors,
But never bothered to pray.
The image of Jesus on the cross
Lay burned in my mind.
I came here for no greeting, no secret meeting.

I saw the sun glisten
Through the stained glass.
It shone itself on me.
Perhaps God shedding his light, his love?
Feeling its warmth brought a smile to my face.
For once in my life, I never felt more alive.

Being within the chapel,
I felt like a new man.
Reborn, resurrected.
Though soon, it was time to depart.
I glanced at Jesus on the wall,
Got to my knees
And muttered a quick prayer.

I love the story in this, the light and peaceful love that shines through the words like the sun through the stain glass windows.
Well done! ^^

It was kind of strange when I wrote this since I'm not really the 'religious' type, but I am glad that you enjoyed it :)

I did. I'm sort of the religious type, and I thought it was beautiful. *.*
