“They told us our Gods
Would outlive us
They told us our dreams
Would outlive us
They told us our Gods
Would outlive us
But…..they lied”
Lyrics from”Distant Sky”
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

“One More Time With Feeling”
and the reverberations shake me to the core…..
“Pulled
Willingly
Into a place
So Holy
Skin shivers
Like a spooked horse
Heart fills
Bursts
Heart hurts
This
This Holiness
This feeling
This
Is what was missing
When you knelt
In prayer
Hoping
In vain
That the God
You don’t believe in
Will hear
This is
This
Is
What was missing
This place
So sacred
You can’t even
Whisper
Its name
This is it
This is……the place
