Music as Sacrilege

Healing

By Karen LaRuePublished about a year ago 1 min read

I’ve just now been able to play them

The “church” songs of my youth

Though the playing itself is a sacrilege

I will recover the skills

Hidden beneath the trauma

I will sing again

In time

I can make music again now

Though it’s imperfect

I’m replanting seeds

And growing them into me
