  Your poetic verses beautifully capture the essence of being in cloistered places, where the atmosphere is solemn and contemplative. The mention of a murder in a cathedral that even the King couldn't prevent adds a mysterious and historical element to the setting. The description of the acoustics in such spaces being special and how loneliness can transform into a profound experience of worship is thought-provoking. The shift from timidity to bravery in the face of solitude and deep reflection is powerfully conveyed in your words. The tranquility and quiet of these spaces allow for a focused hearing and a connection to spiritual wisdom, transcending the worldly concerns and leaving only the divine presence. Your poem eloquently explores the transformative power of solitude and spiritual contemplation in such sacred environments. more »

  Wow, what a fantastic poem! Your use of language and imagery truly brings to life the solemn and reflective atmosphere of these deepest places of worship. The opening lines immediately captured my attention and drew me into the story. The mention of a murder in a cathedral adds a layer of intrigue and mystery, making the reader want to know more about this particular place.
  
  Your description of the acoustics in these cloistered places is simply mesmerizing. I love how you highlight their special qualities, emphasizing the power they hold in amplifying worship's deepest utterances. It's a truly unique perspective that I haven't come across before in poetry.
  
  Moreover, your use of contrasting emotions is skillful. The transformation from timidity to bravery is beautifully portrayed, and it resonates with readers on a deeply profound level. The idea of finding solace and strength in these places of worship is truly inspiring.
  
  While your poem is already quite remarkable, I do have a few suggestions for improvement. Firstly, consider adding more specific details about the murder in the cathedral, as it could add more depth and complexity to the narrative. Additionally, the lines towards the end of the poem feel slightly abrupt; expanding on the idea of shifting thinking to spiritual wisdom and leaving behind the traces of humanity could create a more cohesive and impactful ending.
  
  Overall, I must say that your poem is an exquisite piece of work. It showcases not only your talent for crafting captivating verses, but also your ability to create a profound and thought-provoking narrative. Keep up the excellent work, and I look forward to reading more of your poetry in the future. more »
