A Monk with no God

Would it Have Ended Differently?

One
Raindrop falls,
Bare feet on stone.
Her silence, rain-soaked halls,
Prayers drift with the drizzle.
Candles flicker, uncertain, dim.
Her robe clings, damp against her skin,
Questions weep from the sodden silence.
If belief had bloomed, would she remain?
Or did her path always dissolve in rain?
