Another Kind of Temple

Another Kind of Temple Imagine a temple’s arches To be the boughs of ancient trees; This is a holy place as sure As those man-made curves could be. Here in my back yard cathedral, I rest in flower glass windows and stone, Though its dappled beauty is quiet, And I am here alone. Here to dream of Your works And these You “wonderfully made” Whether in hot sun they be, Or morning’s early shade.

I agree w/Silent One and San. This is a superb poem, Sunlite. The allegories are stunning and the imagery paired w/it is breathtaking. Excellent write. Going in my favorites straight away. Much love and more love to you and yours.
