The Sonnet from the Cathedral of Santa Marta
The cathedral is by the sea
She is made of stone and white as snow
She is a witness to history
It is a place of worship and dignity
She has Rodrigo de Bastidas
Bury the founder of this city
He came from Spain by ship
He sought gold and fame and fortune
He found Santa Marta Bay
He founded the first city
He soon died of a wound
He rests in his cathedral
The cathedral honors his life
She is his monument and blessing
The Haikus from the Cathedral
Cathedral
White and beautiful on the horizon
A light for the city
The bells are ringing
They call for prayer
The people come
The door is open
She shows the way to the altar
Where God awaits us
The windows light up
They paint the saints
With colors and light
decorate the walls
They show the artworks
With shapes and meaning
The ground supports us
He keeps the graves ready
With name and time
The ceiling protects us
It forms the kingdom of heaven
With stars and clouds
The organ plays us
She sings the songs of God
With sounds and words
The cross reminds us
It shows the Son of God
With love and sorrow
Cathedral
She is the house of God
And ours too
The Poem of the Cathedral
I'm going to the cathedral
I feel small and humble
I see the beauty of architecture
I see the splendor of art
I go to the tomb of Bastidas
I read his name and date
I think of his life and his work
I think of his city and his country
I go to the altar of God
I kneel and pray silently
I thank him for his grace and goodness
I ask him for his help and wisdom
I'm leaving the cathedral
I feel big and thankful
I see the beauty of nature
I see the splendor of life.
