Sunken Cathedral


These proud arches
once nearly touching the sky
now sleep under salt water
as schools of fish saunter by

These massive vaults
once jutting up high
slumber quietly beneath waves
as crabs venture across their surfaces
& seaweed grows on all sides

All things from human hands
are like bubbles in the sea

learn to rejoice
in small moments –
that's all we ever see

Sunken Cathedral / cathédrale évier / Catedral Fregadero / Wanne Kathedrale / Hikkonda Daiseidou - an art work by T Newfields
