A lone priestly vision embraced by sacred silence

Richard W. Bachtold | November 2009 (Vol. XXII, No. 10)

A poem is a passionate prayer of song
with blessings from and for the faithful All,
an innocent, sacramental creation
remembering ancient tradition,
a gift of praise at an invisible altar,
and a lone priestly vision embraced
by sacred silence,
seeking forever the eternal unknown.
