Cathedrals

Out of sorrows, sadness and prayers

these ancient alters with water and wind

blown sand were carved by whispers of

peoples whose history and geology

now overlooks the silented stories

that healed the sick and broken,

bonded lovers, birthed children, and

made peace among blood enemies.

Slaves dreamed here of freedom

and within themselves

found the courage

of the wind.

– jab Freedom to love in a dream.
