NaPoWriMo Challenge 2019 – Day 18
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #83
PROMPT:
Free Verse Revolution April Writing Prompt #3 – The Things Left Behind
April’s Theme: Death
When spiritual felonies are committed against us
the rape of the soul, the murder of our spirit
things that seem completely impossible to forgive
they can fester so deep with the core where light lives
manifesting into life-size weighted puppets
hanging from the ceiling of the soul
turning it upside down from light to darkness
causing a slow and painful death of spirit
when forgiveness is not the chosen way
and these puppets and their shadows
are not, through forgiveness, the things left behind.
