Was certainly not so simple
To hold a pose
On tippy-toes
Whilst Shiva handles a limb pull!

When I Visited a Mountain Temple In Korea

Shadows on the valley floor
Appear with the rising sun
Pine trees cling to the steep slopes
Over boulders a stream runs

knocked the swift from the sky
and the monkey from the temple wall: 
beat fast my raggedy heart!

Religion 2022

Religion is really quite simple
Jesus drove men from the temple
Because gods need love
To reign up above
Or your dimple becomes a pimple!

When Jesus entered the Temple
The Loan Sharks agreed
That people in need
Must be squeezed dry like a pimple

temple time passes by
fleeing dominance, anger,
lovers linger lost
freedom glorified, homage;
saffron incense calls prayer.

In the temple of autumnal faint light
Prayer lips ask the soul peace
Humane ground is blood-soaked

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

Healing Temple

Beautiful temple in ashen grey 
I plead the gods come right away
My love is dying 
I promise to play 
Whatever the price I will pay
Gods just save my love

Bye Gadaffi

Gadaffi!  That hole in your temple 
will put a full stop to your trample 
of the poor Libyans.  
So, now the Syrians 
say, "Assad, step aside; that's a sample."

Apple Cinnamon Dreams

I am a kid again...
Mama hums a lullaby,
Tying pink ribbons in my
Shirley Temple curls.
I am a princess,
My daddy says...and
He knows everything!

Premium Member It Is Finished

It is finished. 
The Sacred Heart is pierced. 
The temple veil is torn.
Heaven mingles with Earth.
The sacred pours over the profane.
The world is made anew.

The Wailing Wall

People today are fat, not swift,
So The Western Wall needs a lift*
But here's the rub 
An ancient tub
Saves each tear as temple gift

This World of Life and Void

Brothel of delights
Temple to serve men and gods
A bridge between void and light

Playground of freedom
Church of law and God's judgment
A bridge falling into void

WOODS like a church temple. I walk winding paths, past painted wildflowers, to where the trees touch the sky. "Here I find my serenity. "
