Temple

Can my prayer 

be anything but constant?

Are there other things to think about

than Mind’s omniscient action?

or other things to feel

than Soul’s uplifting?

Are there other things to do

than Life’s unfolding,

or any other place I’d want to be?

I used to think it sounded dull

to never leave the temple,

but now I’ve been there

and glimpsed the size of it.

It’s everything, really,

and everywhere there is,

and I am happy

to go no more out.
