In Cathedrals of the Book [117] (16 lines)
In Cathedrals of the Book

In cathedrals of the book
they turn the pages of the tomes
in search of hallelujahs, comb
for insight, wisdom as they look,

through ancient parchment treasures,
at ornate scenes inked from herbs;
they consider the weight of words
worth more than gold stamped leather.

The stories of their childhood,
the doleful angst of every youth,
the search for universal truth,
the battles of evil and good,

all lie hidden in the pages
brought to them by thoughtful clerks
who help them search through massive works
of sinners, saints and sages.
