Our hands held, gripping tight

a summer fragrance floats drifting about
while a moon hangs low with a sullen pout

Inside The Buddas Temple

a
gentle gust of wind
from
the
sacred wings of
the
owl moth
extinguishes the
candlelight flame
with
its
bamboo wings
inside 
the 
Buddhas temple

   Flaming
     as a beacon-
          our sentinel in the dark.
               For happy times, along with sad-
     a gift for ambiance.
