I've seen so much extravagance thus far,
The extraordinary paintings and frescoes
start to blur.

But in this place, I like the feeling
more so than the bible stories
outlined
on the carefully arched ceiling

It's calm with cooled air,
Giving me sanctuary
From all my headaches.

I could fall asleep now
and not care that I never woke.

This is not a religious conversion,
This is a feeling
Caused by centuries of humans being comforted.
