CANTICLES AND INCENSE

Canticles and incense

Canticles and incense
holy litanies Gregorian
kneeling in fear to Mystery
Sacrifice and Suffering
Attrition for Sin
accept what is given.
Fire and brimstone
it's all the same.
Who holds the keys
to the Kingdom....

powerful litany poem!

I remember sitting in thunder Bay at a christmas mass
my gf then knew the singer...ava marie...beautiful!
a type of family from a little island...near italy.
togetherness....I did it at another place
for a time....but years of running alone
I still keep alone...
feel the boots and stones...

gregorian music I loved...
in the fall especially!
excellent poem
I like it!

thank U
