Hewn into rock hills in Lalibela
sacred second Jerusalem
stands in Ethiopia.
Place of pilgrimage
sacred site where
pilgrims come to pray.
For over a thousand years
infused with the prayers
of millions.
A giant etched cross
adorns the top sealed
with a promise of heaven.
Stone shrine conferring
blessings, the magnificent
Church of Saint George.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
