ONE Hagia Sophia
To walk and see…
Christ’s outstretched hand
Calling you to his side.
Mingling with the Koran
Declaring god’s love to those
Who carry him inside
Prayers that have echoed
In this chamber for centuries
Christian and Muslim cemented in the walls
To remind us…
That faith is not war
But now the veil has fallen…
Christ’s eyes hidden
Turning his back in shame.
As now the Mosque is open,
And my faith is silenced
