The Temple

How I marvel At this unique temple you’ve constructed In it I worship every day Yet I continue to discover more and more   I love the way you’ve created Room for joy and room for sorrow In solace and in company For meditation and creation, jubilant celebration It’s exterior, appealing to some To others, nothing special   How this sacred temple has weathered all weathers Hurricanes & tornados At times even completely snowed under But for the most part, Blessed with brilliant sunshine Having escaped all invaders Despite its ageing signs and fading colors To me this Monument is monumental Its very construction intriguing and exciting Raising constant quest and curiosity   I am absolutely in love with this temple Those who find out, May use the term ‘Narcissist’ Call it a character flaw in me But it’s through this weakness of mine That I’m able to truly humble myself Love you dearly And appreciate all other unique temples Which  you continue to create!    ………………………………………….
