In an empty church

A beautiful short Sunday-poem. Using just a few words, Joseph Massey creates an exquisite image of prayer in an empty church. Do sit with it for a moment.

       In an empty church
in the middle of the day
dark but for stained glass
       flooded with sun, a prayer
held in the breath in my hands.
