Slant of light

Silence felt through halls
Dust dances in the shaft so bright
Shining down from high above
Piercing the darkness with light

Walking slowly through this place
Majestic in its beauty
Passing with in the slants of light
Keepers fulfilling their duty

Those tall stone columns like trees
Standing proud in the slanting rays
Warming up slowly to the touch
Linking earth to heaven each day.


I wrote this as an entry for a competition but decided not to post,
the poem had to be on a theme of " slant of light"   Hope you like this.
