I turned my back against the sun,
And spread my arms in loss...
Lo! Stretching black before me lay
The shadows of a cross!

This one is really clever. Your message is subtle and thus gains in impact.

Rex; The imagery very profound here and done so elegantly simple. WOW! Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

I really liked this one! I had to read it a few times before actually grasping it though. Not through any fault of yours though.  It has a special ring to it, it demands your attention! It's short, but I love those kind that can say so much in such few words. You've done just that here.
