pleasure in the sacred

The sacred is not to be touched
except by reverence, in reverence
with reverence - unless,
occasionally irreverence!
- in which case we make fun
of ourselves, for holding
such sacred things -
but not too much, or
the sacred is lost.
It has been profaned,
in the end,
to our cost

as we discover that
not for any price
can this worthless thing
be bought.

Anything you have to say - question, critique, interpretation, praise or rebuke - is received with gratitude and interest.

If it looks like spam and contains a link, though, it will not be published. I will cherish it to myself, instead. Thank you!
