Sunday Scribblings 7/31/11

field of sunflowers
give a standing ovation
to their Creator

written for Sunday Scribblings prompt:  standing ovation

A Mighty Fortress

A MIGHTY FORTRESS

darkness envelops
fear rattles me;
I’m bound as if weeds
sprouted at my
feet, entangling me

I am held captive.

voices pierce darkness
like keys jangling;
a Holy image
fills my vision,
splintering shackles

Captivating me.
