Lined In Discipline

Regalia awakens upon nightfall 
Roused within rules proudly signified
Routine of midnight procedural
Robe wearer draped solemn dignified


Voracious moon grey devil face
Oak double doors crosses engraved
Vestibule commands reverence
Flung open so mortals can be saved


Behaviour carefully monitored
Moonshine in aisle to alter pointing
Father's guidance Penultimate 
Spotlight slides jacketed anointing 


Pulpit a pillar of scripture's page
Builds focus for lamp stuck fly byers 
Formality chapters archaic sage
Impales twisted gargoyles on spires


Stitched into sleeves invisibly
Satin lining sheen hot cardinal flame
Shape of garment disciplining
Secure bounds by pockets contained

    Fitting into Religion
