Church on Chochmo's Hill

Have you seen the Church,
That sleeps on Chochmo’s Hill?
It waits,
Unwavering,
In the aspen clearing.
The grass is brought to lull,
Subtly dancing in the wind.
The dust within
is stirred by unheard cries.
The rotting wood
creaks
as if it were trod on,
in times long past.

Outside the decaying chapel,
A coyote passes by
a mound,
And a broken cross.
He need not worry
as he ascends into the foothills,
For these lands have remained untouched
since before he was born.

Whatever light
that breaches the storming clouds ahead,
Falls through the ailing stained glass windows
of the Church on Chochmo's Hill.
Whatever light,
That finds its way
to rest on the pews,
Rests on no man.

Photos were taken in Alaska, with a Sony Alpha5000. VSCO was used for editing.

huuu the first photo looks like a beast! great north!

The great north is like a beast, waiting to be tamed.

There is always some kind of rythm to your poems that create perfectly fitting pictures in my head so I almost feel like seeing the church and its' surroundings directly in front of me. I also really like the mood of this one! Even though I would have chosen to edit the photos differently so there is some color in them but they still would be very dark. I don't know how to describe that in a better way but nevertheless this is just a personal preference; I think your choice still fits the mood and I really enjoyed reading it. :)

I normally would do color, but the black-and-white is actually to cover up how grainy the pictures are, haha.
