I found myself today appreciating the large, apparently copper, mountain facade that rises up behind the alter at my wife’s church. A stream is depicted coming down from the hills, very much the color of copper rust, which connects with a tiled depiction of a stream that runs across the altar and the length of the nave to the baptismal font which is situated just in front the main entrance.

Water of Life

copper mountains rise
behind deep green gesturing robes
a teal river rusts
from the hills and tiles past pews
to the caged baptismal font
