in an abandoned sanctuary a single wooden pew in the middle of the pew a woman sits praying inside her fragile heart a little girl cries in the girl�s teardrops the kiss of Christ within the kiss: hope� tears are blessed, multiplied and from within joy wells up like an angel chorus and tears spill out onto uncomfortable pew a sacrifice of love from heartbroken child inside a lonely woman in an abandoned sanctuary

This is a perfect poetic dance of such intensity and depth, Dawn. The balance and the rhythm are superb and the seed of truth and pearls of wisdom you "crack open" are most beautiful. You take us into the central crux and out again wonderfully. This is a real gem of a write - am keeping! Thank you. Kate xx
