As I wrote the title for this post I was reminded of “while my guitar gently weeps” lyrics. And then of the cover version with Prince’s guitar solo. Definitely worth a listen. But I digress.
I took this at Gloucester Cathedral, where there is a conveniently placed mirror. The original photo was ok, but when I turned it upside down it improved tremendously. Try standing on your head to have a look, and see if you agree.
Crawling on scarred knees
over cold and hard flagstones.
Escape to the light.
A bit of a downbeat haiku, but it reflects the feel of the image. Another from Gloucester Cathedral.
Through hallowed cloisters
Where Benedictine monks trod,
Silently praying.
Gloucester Cathedral is a stunning building. The cloisters were featured as parts of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. If I can think of an appropriate haiku I might well post another image from here.
