the temple's grace
a solemn ancient terrace
upon rocks of ragged splendor
speak in hushed awe to mine spirit's blinded eyes
patterns of mystery unfold before the wonder of the wind's subtlest
hint of perfumes yet to come
there are others in our wake
majesty in our shared breaths before this
great reckoning of revealment
God holds council here and we are but plants
blooming in his eyes as he sits upon the rocks
viewing the shifts of soil and the greater oceans
at rest........
