The Clearing by Tyler Barrows

The Clearing

by Tyler Barrows

I came upon a clearing

On a cloudy October evening,

As I was wandering through

Dense forests, somewhere in my dreams.

In this clearing, I saw a cathedral.

I hoped that it would grant me sanctuary

Amidst my mental agony.

Instead,

Eleanor of Aquitaine sang

A Jazz Age lullaby

As the organ music haunted me.

I've never felt so far from God,

This is nothow the world will end.

This is not how the world will end.

The clouds open up forjust a moment.

I know who I am,

And I know His Spirit haunts me.

As constellations fill the sky for a moment,

I know He has brought me here-
