I am visiting a Catholic City tomorrow

That once faced wide coastal fields

But is now partially hidden in the deep suburbs

 

Like many I will partake of secular activities

But then I will draw breath and look up into the sky

And marvel at the wonders of what I am witnessing

 

Later unaccompanied and accompanied

I will discover the Holy Beach

And stare at the setting sea
