Floria Envisioned

In a temple Floria I see, Clothed in radiant white from head to feet, Soft pale hands and Bible on one knee; Her smile beams on each who take a seat. Within the room is finest polished wood; All is clean, and walls reflect the light Of purity, which sought, is understood, For here abide the honest and contrite. Peace resides to blot the worldly strife Left outside, and solace eases pain. Many here reflect upon their life, For godliness and solemness do reign. In the temple I envision her Once the Spirit does her heart bestir. July 12, 2020 for the Strand Completely New(9) Any Form Any Theme Poetry Contest
