Description
The basilica
reaches toward the heart of God,
the moon and stars sing
An unexpected architectural wonder, Sacred Heart Basilica can't help but be noticed in the residential neighborhood of the west side. Its spires shoot heavenward, reminding me of Renaissance master craftsmen whose works were extensions of devotion to God. Their faith was strong. Their work still stands. Reflecting on this fills me with awe over the wonder of God and all He gives us.
I went with my friend, in my friend's car, and we saw this church. I think it's very elegant. I like it a lot. The poem said it's reaching very high, toward the heart of God. It makes me feel very peaceful and pure inside.
I wanted to combine these two feelings, the basilica reaching up, and the moon and the stars are singing. That's just how I imagine it. The angels, they are very kind inside. They have a good warm heart to help others. And I add some fog to make the atmosphere like dreaming. I like the tranquility. It's very peaceful, but also playful.
