If we lost all marble columns,
Venetian mosaics,
and blue vaulted basilicas,
would the sky be canvas enough
to hold our hearts still?
The Church, not a building
but building our steps.
One foot, lighted by the Lamp,
in front of the other,
waiting for the Gold Winged Lion
to whisper, or roar.
St. Mark’s Piazza Venice 2017
