Cathedral

by James Hubbell

Awakening as if from a dream
I turn to the news
I hear the cracking,
the rumbling
of a cathedral falling
the footing forgotten
the stones laid carelessly.

Then,
I remember the hidden moon,
the breathing in and out of nature
And, I know that
the earth awaits
a new cathedral.
And, I know that I must
find my stone,
place it carefully
for Life waits, too.
