Unpolished in imaginative shellac

framed by its own shadow in back

one door becomes two; a paired arch:

one opens outward into a wide porch

the other, a light source in the darkness.

  5. The simplicity of the doors is what strikes me most. They don’t appear to belong to an illustrious cathedral in the European or American tradition, and yet so beautifully dignified. As the Poet notes, they are unpolished—unadorned—but there’s a deep compassion imbued in them. I find the phrase “framed by its own shadow” especially beautiful. It’s also fascinating that one door swings outward and the other inward, – a source in the dark – as if welcoming both travelers and parishioners alike—inviting them not just to enter, but to belong.

    Beautiful Poetry.

    1. Thank you for your beautifully crafted insights, I love your expression and impressions that the door seem not European…You are right!. Well spotted.
      The welcome is a treasured feeling when entering but as you expressed with profoundness…it is the sense of belonging that is cherished when entering these spaces.

      Happy Thursday! Peace to you.
