Beyond the Cathedral Poem
By Pamela Storch
On a rooftop terrace,
Spire seen across the street,
A city sky-scape magical,
Blue canvas, buildings meet,
For right across the distance,
Not quite seen from broader view,
The smaller domes stand in between,
There's one, another, two,
The sound of the cathedral,
Chimes the pulsing of the clock,
The hour is decided,
By the ticking and the tock,
Yet is the clock connected,
To the rhythms of the sea?
What happens to the chiming,
When the time's eternity?
Step beyond the cathedral into a lyrical world where skyline, spire, and sea all keep time together. “Beyond the Cathedral” is an original poem by Pamela Storch, written in response to her companion artwork of a sunlit cityscape filled with domes, rooftops, and the soaring cathedral spire in the distance.
The poem reflects on the chiming of clocks, the mystery of eternity, and how a single rooftop view can open doors to spiritual wonder and inner stillness. Perfect for lovers of poetry, travel, and faith-infused reflections, this design overlays Pamela’s words on the soft artwork background, creating a meaningful piece for reading nooks, prayer corners, writing studios, and cozy living spaces.
Ideal as a thoughtful gift for poets, travelers, and anyone drawn to contemplative city views and timeless questions of the soul.
