I'm not sure I got the meaning of it, but I find it very impressive. The image of the cathedral is something that I don't know, makes me feel a bit anxious... I'm always scared of cathedrals and the imagery connected to them. I always have the impression they represent something that is going to fall apart, to crumble down, like something that is going to be self-destructed by invisible forces, yet they seem so powerful and imponent because of their aspect. So reading a text that mixes the image of a cathedral with something more intimate leaves me a strong and not describable impression. There's power in these lines, but also a sense of fragility. A strong contrast, very original result IMO.
