In Sacred Shadows

"In Sacred Shadows: The Landscape of Belief" captures the juxtaposition of the spiritual and the discarded, reflects on the deeper nature of religion and beliefs as they intermingle with the forgotten or overlooked aspects of human thought and culture. It captures the complexity and accumulation of religious beliefs over time, akin to layers in a landfill. It contemplates of the varied and layered nature of faith, akin to exploring a landscape rich with history and diversity.

In Sacred Shadows: The Landscape of Belief

In lands of waste where refuse finds its keep,
Religion, like a heap, in shadows steep.
Each castoff creed, a relic of belief,
In mounds of thought, finds solace, not relief.

As garbage grows, so too the faiths entwine,
In tangled truths, where dogmas intertwine.
The sacred texts, like littered scraps, they lay,
In disarray, where vultures oft' survey.

Yet in this heap, a solemn hope resides,
A glimmering truth, where faith survives.
For in the waste, a seed of truth is sown,
In landfills deep, where sacred light is shown.

Though cast aside, these doctrines old and worn,
Like refuse, hold the essence once adorned.
In every scrap, a story to be told,
In junkyard faiths, beliefs that still hold.

So like a landfill, vast in its array,
Religion holds the remnants of the day.
In every piece, a part of something more,
A landfill's depth, faith's ever-growing lore.
