Simply Snickers prompt ~ sacred + secrets + self + scorned
~
A sacred space is
Often marked with
A cross ~
But too often
In the same landscape
There is a hint of
A false
Wired
Charged
Cross
Lurking ~
Like holy light
Scorned
~
~
However
If self is
In charge
Then the inner eyes
Hold to
The precious secrets
~

And electrified crosses
Are left for
The black birds

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman

That was amazing. I love the juxtaposition of the church photos with your poetic lines . . . and the final twist. So clever.
Thanks for participating at SIMPLY SNICKERS this week. Next week's prompt is up!
