Your God is nailed to a plank,
where is the freedom in that?
No
mine is a wandering whisper
that walks through the woods,
free of your phantom fears.
It forms itself in the white space
them hairline cracks
between lines of dusty pews;
once when words were once offered to your God
have become echoes on the cobwebs,
that barely support the remaining pillars
which fall
fall
fall
in His church.
Little do you realise
that a life chained to rigidity
has crumbled your abbeys, dissolved your monasteries—
left ruins.
Tell me
can your God exist in dead churches?
